Question 683710: The question I was given is "The sum of the squares of two numbers is 61 and the sum of those two numbers is 11. Calculate all the possible combinations of two numbers that satisfy these statements."
I attempted the question by first writing x+y=11 and x^2 +y^2=61. Therefore y=11-x. Unfortunately I can't understand any of the notes I made in class after that and would really appreciate any advice. Step by step solutions would be amazing as well, thank you.

Question 683794: Hello,the problem I'm trying to solve is,
"A plane with a capacity of 120 passengers is to be chartered for an excursion. The price of one ticket is to be $60 if 100 people or fewer buy tickets. The airline will reduce the price of every ticket by 50 cents for each ticket sold over 100. How many additional passengers over 100 will bring about maximum income?"
I know the first part of the equation will probably be (120 + 100x), but I'm not to sure about the rest of the equation which I need in order to graph the parabola. Help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Question 683994: A programmer is writing the code for a new interactive basketball game. As a result, she is using quadratic relations to model the path of the ball. During the game, when a ball is shot, the path it follows is modeled by the quadratic relation,h= -0.2d^2 + 3d + 6 , where h represented the height of the ball above the ground and d represented the distance of the ball from the shooter. Both distances are measured in feet.
How high was the ball when the shooter shot it?
What was the maximum height obtained by the ball?
A rim of a basketball net is 10 feet high. For what horizontal distance was the ball above the rim of the basketball net?
