23. REASONING A student theater charges \( \$ 9.50 \) per ticket. a. The theater has already sold 70 tickets. Write and solve an inequality that represents how many more tickets the theater needs to sell to earn at least \( \$ 1000 \). b. The theater increases the ticket price by \( \$ 1 \). Without solving an inequality, describe how this affects the total number of tickets needed to earn at least \( \$ 1000 \).

Вычислить следующие определители: а) \( \left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & -2 \\ -2 & 4\end{array}\right| \); б) \( \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 \\ 5 & 0 & -1\end{array}\right| \), 2. Найти точку пересечения прямых \( l_{1}: 3 x-2 y=0 \) и \( l_{2}: y=-x+5 \). Построить прямые.

\( \log _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } x - 15 \log _ { 5 } x - 4 \leq 0 \)

Evaluate the following function. Your answer should be an integer. \( f(x)=-3^{2 x-2} \), for \( x=3 \) Your answer is \( f(3)=\square \)

\( \sqrt { n ^ { 2 } - 1 } - ( n + 1 ) = \frac { ( n ^ { 2 } - 1 ) - ( n + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { \sqrt { n ^ { 2 } - 1 } + ( n + 1 ) } = \frac { - 2 n - 2 } { \sqrt { n ^ { 2 } - 1 } + ( n + 1 ) } \rightarrow - 1 \)
