Svet_ta [12734]

P(volleyball and baseball) = 4/200 x 100 = 2%
P(volleyball or baseball) = P(volleyball ∪ baseball) = P(volleyball) + P(baseball) - P(volleyball and baseball) = 12% + 15% - 2% = 25%.

Thus, 25% of students participate in either volleyball or baseball.

A rectangular schoolyard is to be fenced in using the wall of the school for one side and 150

lawyer [12517]

Answer:

Part 1) The equation is $A(x)=150x-2x^2$

Part 2) When x=40 m, the area of the schoolyard is A=2,800 m^2

Part 3) The valid domain consists of all real numbers exceeding zero and below 75 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Formulate an expression for A(x)

Let

x -----> the length of the rectangular school yard

y ---> the width of the rectangular school yard

It is known that

The perimeter for the fencing (taking the school wall as one side) is

$P=2x+y$

$P=150\ m$

thus

$150=2x+y$

$y=150-2x$ -----> this is equation A

The area of the rectangular school yard is

$A=xy$ ----> this is equation B

Substituting equation A into equation B yields

$A=x(150-2x)$

$A=150x-2x^2$

Change to function notation

$A(x)=150x-2x^2$

Part 2) What is the area when x=40?

With x equal to 40 m

substitute the value into the expression from Part 1 to determine A

$A(40)=150(40)-2(40^2)$

$A(40)=2,800\ m^2$

Part 3) What would be a suitable domain for A(x) in this scenario?

We understand that

A signifies the area of the rectangular school yard

x characterizes the length of the rectangular school yard

It follows that

$A(x)=150x-2x^2$

This forms a vertical parabola opening downwards

The vertex indicates a maximum point

The x-coordinate of the vertex corresponds to the length that maximizes the area

The y-coordinate of the vertex denotes the maximum area

The vertex corresponds to (37.5, 2812.5)

Refer to the accompanying figure

Consequently,

The peak area achieved is 2,812.5 m^2

The x-intercepts are located at x=0 m and x=75 m

The domain for A is the range -----> (0, 75)

All real numbers greater than zero and less than 75 meters

Suppose log subscript a x equals 3, log subscript a y equals 7, and log subscript a z equals short dash 2. Find the value of the

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the logarithmic expressions given $log_ax = 3, log_ay = 7, log_az = -2$ , we need to identify the value of $log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )$

$from\ log_ax = 3, x = a^3\\\\from\ log_ay = 7,y = a^7\\\\from\ log_az = -2, z = a^{-2}$ By substituting x = a³, y = a⁷, and z = a⁻² into the logarithmic function $log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )$ , we will derive;

$= log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )\\\\= log_a(\dfrac{(a^3)^3*a^7}{(a^{-2})^4} )\\\\= log_a(\dfrac{a^9*a^7}{a^{-8}} )\\\\= log_a\dfrac{a^{16}}{a^{-8}} \\\\= log_aa^{16+8}\\\\= log_aa^{24}\\\\= 24log_aa\\\\= 24* 1\\\\= 24$

Therefore, the result of the logarithmic expression is 24
