Since the opening night, attendance at Play A has increased steadily, while attendance at Play B first rose and then fell. Equations modeling the daily attendance y at each play are shown below, where x is the number of days since the opening night. On what day(S) was the attendance the same at both plays? what was the attendance? Play A: y = 16x + 150 Play B: y = -x^2 60x - 10 answer choices: The attendance was the same on day 40. The attendance was 790 at both plays that day. The attendance was the same on day 4. The attendance was 214 at both plays that day. The attendance w

set the y's equal and solve

this will give the day the attendance the same is that a "+ 60x"

16x + 150 = -x^2 + 60x -10 x^2 -60x +16x + 150 + 10 = 0

so the answer is: the attendance was never the same on both plays?

can I ask another question @triciaal

OpenStudy (triciaal):

sure but before you go to the next ? how did you decide this one

3 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because of the step which shows it was 0, that meant that the answer would be none, and they never did. that was the last answer choice, it just did fully come out.

did you plug the choices and check you did not verify +60x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your saying I'm wrong?

3 years ago
OpenStudy (triciaal):

i am saying did not find x and therefore did not actually check to confirm did not plug the given numbers to check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait so you don't know if I'm right? I'm confused now, and I don't usually go back and check like that how would I do that?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

I set the y's equal to find the value of x but the eqn written was not clarified so i did not solve for x; you did not answer

OpenStudy (triciaal):

what is the next question?

3 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so was I right? or not?

3 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me write the next question

3 years ago
OpenStudy (triciaal):

the answer is b it I use +60x

3 years ago
OpenStudy (triciaal):

look at the question did you miss a plus sign that's what i need to know and you did not answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes on Play B

there was a missing + sign ur right

14. What ate tje solutions to the system? y = x^2 - 6x + 7 y = -x + 13 (-1, 14) and (6, 14) (-1, 7) and (6, 14) (-1, 13) and (6, 7) no solution.

x^2 -6x + 7 = -x + 13

what are the factors of -6 that add to -5

3 years ago
OpenStudy (triciaal):

lets use -6 and + 1 x^2 - 6x + x -6 = 0 x(x + 1)-6(x+1) = 0 (x+1)(x-6)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm...

3 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

3 years ago
OpenStudy (triciaal):

x= -1, x = 6 you have the x value put in the 2nd eqn and find y

i dont see the ans I got (-1, 14) and (6, 7)

3 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

its there, its the first option

3 years ago
OpenStudy (triciaal):

your first option has (6, 14)

3 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops haha, on my test it says: (-1, 14) and (6, 7) I copied wrong lol its supposed to be the first choice.

remember rt2 *rt2 = 2 and rt3*rt3 = 3
