The following appeared in the magazine Financial Times, March 23,1995: "When Elvis Presley died in 1977, there were 48 professio

nal Elvis impersonators. Today there are an estimated 7328. If that growth is projected, by the year 2016 one person in four on the face of the globe will be an Elvis impersonator." This is an example of______________.

Answer:

This situation illustrates Extrapolation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Extrapolation involves predicting the future based on the premise that current or historical trends will persist.

This also entails assuming the methodologies employed to gauge past trends will apply in the future.

For instance, consider projections regarding global population.

In this case, the number of Elvis Presley impersonators has risen from 48 at his death in 1977 to 7,328 today. If we estimate that by 2016, one in four individuals will become an Elvis impersonator based on the growth trend, this exemplifies Extrapolation.

zzz [9080]
The diagram below illustrates the issue at hand.

Question 1:
The maximum area of the pool equals half the area of the circle.

To calculate the area of the circle: Area = πr², with r being half of the diameter.
Thus, Area of circle = π(60)² = 11309.73355 square feet.

Therefore, the area representing half the circle amounts to 11309.73355/2 = 5654.866... ≈ 5654.87 square feet (rounded to 2 decimal places).

Question b:

To find the pool's area, we take the circle's area and subtract the triangle's area.

The area of the circle is 11309.73 square feet.

For the triangle's area calculation: 1/2 × (60×103.92) = 3117.6 square feet.

The area of the pool thus operates as 11309.73 - 3117.6 = 7922.13 square feet.

Calculating the pool's volume: 7922.13 × 4 = 31688.52 cubic feet.

Note: Information related to the fish tank is unavailable, so the above calculation focuses solely on the entire pool's volume.

Members of a school club are buying matching shirts. They know at least 25 members will get a shirt. Long-sleeved shirts are $10
babunello [8412]

Answer:

The highest number of long-sleeved shirts that can be ordered is 8

and

The lowest number of long-sleeved shirts that can be acquired is 0

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let y denote the quantity of short sleeves and x indicate the quantity of long sleeves.

According to the stipulated conditions:

Members of a school club are purchasing coordinating shirts. They understand that a minimum of 25 members will opt for a shirt.

therefore, we have;

x+y\geq 25               or

y\geq 25 -x....[1]

Given that long-sleeved shirts are priced at $10 each and short-sleeved shirts at $5 each.

Thus;

The total expense for long sleeves amounts to 10x and

the total cost of short sleeves is 5y

Moreover; the club has a budget that does not exceed $165

therefore;

10x+5y\leq 165 

 5y\leq 165 -10x or

y\leq 33-2x......[2]

By plotting the inequality functions:

Graphing equations [1] and [2] produces a maximum at the coordinates (8, 17)

thus, x= 8.

Taking the minimum value of x =0 results in y falling between 25 and 33.

consequently, the solution space is situated between the intersecting lines to the left.

In conclusion, a maximum of 8 long-sleeved shirts can be obtained, while the minimum number of long-sleeved shirts that can be bought is 0
