Tickets for a school jazz concert were sold before the concert and at the door. after reviewing ticket sales, the band director found that 80 fewer tickets were purchased at the door than before the concert. a total of 520 tickets were sold. let d represent the number of tickets sold at the door and b represent the number of tickets sold before the concert. latifa wrote the following system of linear equations to find the number of each type of ticket sold how

The answer is:

d=220, b=300

Step-by-step explanation:

You could solve this problem using a series of equations:

d+b=520

b-80=d

How I solve this is:

If d+b=520, you could divide 520 by 2 and say that d and b's average is 260 (though that is not their value).

Then , you know that the difference between them is 80. Since the average is 260, you could add half of 80 (which is 40) and subtract the same to get 220 and 300, which, as you can see, have a difference of 80 and add up to 520. Now you have to find out which is which.

Since 80 fewer tickets were purchased at the door than before the concert (d+80=b (the second equation)), you know that the number of tickets at the door is the lesser number, making the

d=220, b=300

The last one D

I took quiz

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:
