Hello Ann, Let x=# of courtside seats sold, let y=# of endzone seats sold, and let z=# of balcony seats sold. Thus, we get the following equations: 1. x + y + z = 15,000 (the total # of tickets
Hello Anne, 1. I gather you mean the cube-root, yes? cube_root(81a^6b^8), factor out perfect cubes... . cube_root(27*3*a^6*b^6*b^2), now the 27a^6b^6 can came out of the cube_root..as: . 3a^2b^2*cube_root(3b^2)
1. Using s(t)=(1/2)gt^2, with s(t)=640 ft and g=32 ft/sec^2, we get . 640=16t^2 ==> t^2=40 ==> t=sqrt(40) or about 6.32 seconds 2. let x=the speed of the car, and t=the time to drive 280 miles.
Hello Vandhana, Are you certain you have the problem correct? Only 15% (or 30 ppl) DO NOT have a driver's license, but them 78% (or 156 ppl) DO NOT have a license AND did NOT have a parking ticket
It depends how the cubes are oriented. For example, if the 12 cubes are arranged to be 1 layer in height, so we might have a 4x3x1 solid, the surface area is 2(3x4)+2(3x1)+2(4x1) =38 square units
