Answer:

It will cost $256542 to prepare the field for next weeks match.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum dimensions of a field according to FIFA rules is 110 m by 75 m.

So, the maximum area of a field is (110 × 75) = 8250 square meters.

Now, 1 square meters is equivalent to 1.196 square yards.

So, the maximum area of a field is (8350 × 1.196) = 9867 square yards.

Now, given that it costs to make ready each square yard of a full-size FIFA field, $26 before each game.

Therefore, it will cost $(26 × 9867) = $256542 to prepare the field for next week's match. (Answer)

The probability that a freshman student at this school plays either a sport or a musical instrument is 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition rules in probability are:

∵ The probability that a freshman plays a sport is 0.55

∴ P(sport) = 0.55

∵ The probability that a freshman plays a musical instrument is 0.34

∴ P(music) = 0.34

∵ The probability that a freshman plays both a sport and a musical

    instrument is 0.15

∴ P(sport and music) = 0.15

To find the probability that freshman student at this school plays either a sport or a musical instrument use the second rule above because it is non-mutually exclusive

∵ P(sport or music) = P(sport) + P(music) - P(sport and music)

∴ P(sport or music) = 0.55 + 0.34 - 0.15

∴ P(sport or music) = 0.74

The probability that a freshman student at this school plays either a sport or a musical instrument is indeed 0.74

To find the probability that a freshman student plays either a sport or a musical instrument, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion for probability.

The principle states that for any two events A and B, the probability of the union of A and B is given by:

[tex]\[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \][/tex]

Let event A be the event that a freshman plays a sport, and event B be the event that a freshman plays a musical instrument.

We are given the following probabilities:

P(A) = 0.55 (the probability that a freshman plays a sport)

P(B) = 0.34 (the probability that a freshman plays a musical instrument)

P(A and B) = 0.15 (the probability that a freshman plays both a sport and a musical instrument)

 Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we calculate the probability  Upon reviewing the calculation, it appears there was an error in the final step.

The correct calculation should be:

[tex]\[ P(\text{either A or B}) = P(A \cup B) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(\text{either A or B}) = 0.74 \][/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a freshman student at this school plays either a sport or a musical instrument is indeed 0.74, not 0.64 as initially stated.

The final answer is [tex]\(\boxed{0.74}\).[/tex]

To find the value of x for parallel lines with expressions (7x + 11) and (10x - 43), set them equal and solve the resulting equation, which gives x = 18.

If line a is parallel to line b and we have the expressions (7x + 11) for line a and (10x - 43) for line b, then the corresponding angles formed by these lines and a transversal would be equal. To solve for x, we set the two expressions equal to each other because the slopes of parallel lines are equal. The equation would be 7x + 11 = 10x - 43.

This is the value of x that makes the two expressions equal, thus confirming the lines are parallel.

The radius of can is 2.524 inches

Solution:

Given that large can of tuna fish that has a volume of 66 cubic  inches and a height of 3.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum revenue occurs at [tex]\( n = 13 \).[/tex]

The correct option is (a).

To maximize the revenue for the tour company, we need to find the value of ( n ) that maximizes the revenue function [tex]\( R = 52n - 2n^2 \).[/tex]

1. Find the derivative of the revenue function:

  The derivative of a function gives us the rate of change of the function. We will find the derivative of the revenue function with respect to ( n ) to find where the revenue function is increasing or decreasing.

Given the revenue function [tex]\( R = 52n - 2n^2 \)[/tex], we'll find its derivative [tex]\( \frac{dR}{dn} \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{dR}{dn} = \frac{d}{dn}(52n - 2n^2) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{dR}{dn} = 52 - 4n \][/tex]

2. Set the derivative equal to zero to find critical points:

  To find the critical points, we set the derivative equal to zero and solve for ( n ):

[tex]\[ 52 - 4n = 0 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 4n = 52 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ n = \frac{52}{4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ n = 13 \][/tex]

3. Determine the nature of the critical point:

  To determine if ( n = 13 ) is a maximum or minimum, we use the second derivative test. If the second derivative is negative at the critical point, it's a maximum; if positive, it's a minimum.

Taking the second derivative of ( R ):

[tex]\[ \frac{d^2R}{dn^2} = \frac{d}{dn}(52 - 4n) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{d^2R}{dn^2} = -4 \][/tex]

Since the second derivative [tex]\( \frac{d^2R}{dn^2} = -4 \) is negative, \( n = 13 \)[/tex] corresponds to a maximum.

4. Verify the endpoints:

  Since the domain of ( n ) is not specified, we need to check if the endpoints of the domain have any maximum revenue. In this case, we don't have any specific domain constraints, so we don't need to check the endpoints.

5. Conclusion:

The maximum revenue occurs at [tex]\( n = 13 \).[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 13.

complete question given below:

A tour company has a ticket price that goes down $2 for every additional person who signs up for a group trip. They charge, per person, 52-2n Where n is the number of people that go on the trip. Their total revenue, R, as a function of the number of people who can go in the trip is R=52n-2n^2. How many people Maximize the revenue for the tour company

a.13

b.26

c.39

d.22

Maximized revenue for the tour company occurs with 13 people on the trip, yielding $676.

To maximize revenue, we need to find the maximum point of the revenue function [tex]\( R = 52n - 2n^2 \)[/tex]. We can do this by finding the derivative of the revenue function with respect to n and then setting it equal to zero to find the critical points. Then, we can determine whether these critical points correspond to a maximum or minimum by analyzing the second derivative.

So, let's start by finding the derivative of the revenue function:

[tex]\[ \frac{dR}{dn} = 52 - 4n \][/tex]

Setting this derivative equal to zero and solving for [tex]\( n \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ 52 - 4n = 0 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 4n = 52 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ n = \frac{52}{4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ n = 13 \][/tex]

Now, we need to check whether this critical point corresponds to a maximum or a minimum. To do this, we'll take the second derivative of the revenue function:

[tex]\[ \frac{d^2R}{dn^2} = -4 \][/tex]

Since the second derivative is negative, the critical point [tex]\( n = 13 \)[/tex]corresponds to a maximum.

So, the tour company will maximize its revenue when 13 people go on the trip.

$130 - ($20+$35) is the equation

The equation to represent the total amount spent on t-shirts and hoodies at the River Bluff High School store is 20t + 35h = 130, where t is the number of t-shirts and h is the number of hoodies purchased, and they total $130.

To represent the situation in which t-shirts cost $20 each and hoodies cost $35 each, and a total of $130 is spent, we can introduce variables to represent the quantity of t-shirts and hoodies purchased. Let's use t to represent the number of t-shirts and h to represent the number of hoodies. The equation for this situation in standard form, where Ax + By = C, would be:

20t + 35h = 130,

where 20 is the cost of one t-shirt, 35 is the cost of one hoodie, and 130 represents the total amount spent on t-shirts and hoodies combined.

In summation form [tex]\sum_{n = 1} ^{5} 6(6)^{n - 1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Within one hour, the first person gives a stack of flyers to six people and within the next hour, those six people give a stack of flyers to six new people.

So, in the first 5 hours, the summation of people that receive a stack of flyers not including the initial person will be given by

6 + (6 × 6) + (6 × 6 × 6) + (6 × 6 × 6 × 6) + (6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6).

So, in summation form [tex]\sum_{n = 1} ^{5} 6(6)^{n - 1}[/tex]

Therefore, Sigma-Summation Underscript n = 1 Overscript 5 EndScripts 6 (6) Superscript n minus 1, gives the correct solution. (Answer)

We can evaluate how many persons are getting flyer by each person then calculate summation.

Option A: [tex]\sum^5_{n=1}6(6)^{(n-1)}\\[/tex]summation form.

First person gives flyers to 6 people.

Those 6 persons give flyers to 6 new people, thus [tex]6 \times 6 = 36[/tex] people...

And so on five times for five hour as this process is done on hourly basis.

Thus, the summation without including first person, for five hours to count total number of people who received flyers is:

[tex]6 + (6 \times 6) + (6 \times 6 \times 6) + (6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 ) + (6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6)[/tex]

or in summation it can be rewritten as:

[tex]\sum^5_{n=1}6(6)^{(n-1)}\\[/tex]

Thus, Option A:  [tex]\sum^5_{n=1}6(6)^{(n-1)}\\[/tex] is the needed summation form.

The question is a Mathematics problem related to the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. The solution entails considering the diagonal walk as the hypotenuse in a right triangle, whose sides' lengths are known (200 feet). The Pythagorean theorem is then used to calculate the hypotenuse's length.

The subject of this question is mathematics, specifically, the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem in geometry. The park is described as a perfect square, so the diagonal Mr. Carter and his wife plan to walk across can be thought of as the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by two sides of the square.

Given that each side of the square is 200 feet, the length between points C and A can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, which is a² + b² = c². Here, both a and b are the lengths of the sides of the park, which is 200 feet. So the calculation would be: 200² + 200² = c². This simplifies to 40000 + 40000 = c², leading to a total of 80000 = c². To find c, which is the distance they will walk across the park, we take the square root of 80000, which can be rounded down to 283 feet if we use a calculator.

Mr. Carter and his wife can find the distance they will walk across the park by using the Pythagorean theorem. They substitute the length of the sides of the square (200 feet) into the theorem's formula: sqrt (200^2 + 200^2) to calculate the distance.

The subject of this question is Mathematics, and it pertains to the topic of geometry, specifically the Pythagorean theorem. We are given a perfect square (Portage Park) with sides of 200 feet, and we want to find the distance from one corner (point C) to the diagonally opposite corner (point A). This distance forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle, where the sides of the square become the two legs of the triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). So the distance  Mr. Carter and his wife will walk (d) can be described with the equation: d = sqrt (a^2 + b^2).

Since Portage Park is a perfect square, both a and b are 200 feet. You can substitute 200 for both a and b in the equation to find d: d = sqrt (200^2 + 200^2).

The complete question in the attached figure

Let

x ----> the number of movies

y ----> the amount of money remaining on her gift card

we know that

The slope of the linear equation is equal to the unit rate

take two points from the graph

(0,18) and (2,12)

Find the slope

[tex]m=(12-18)/(2-0)[/tex]

[tex]m=(-6)/(2)=-\$3\ per\ movie[/tex] ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

That means -----> Each movie she rents cost her $3, so her  gift card balance will decrease $3 for every movie rented

The linear equation is equal to

[tex]y=-3x+18[/tex]

For y=0

[tex]0=-3x+18[/tex]

[tex]x=6[/tex]

so

6 is the maximum number of movies that Elyse can rent on line

The unit rate is the ratio of the change in the y-coordinate value to the change in the x-coordinate value between any two strategically chosen points. Elyse's unit rate represents the cost per movie rental.

While the graph isn't directly available, the principle to find the unit rate of the graph is the same. The unit rate is the ratio of the change in the vertical (y-axis) value to the change in the horizontal (x-axis) value between any two distinct points on the graph. In the context of Elyse's movie rentals, the unit rate would represent the cost per movie.

To calculate this, you'd subtract the y-coordinate value of the second point from the y-coordinate value of the first point. This represents the change in the balance of the gift card. Then you'd subtract the x-coordinate value of the second point from the x-coordinate value of the first point, representing the number of movies rented. Dividing the change in balance by the number of movies gives the cost per movie, which is our unit rate.

For example, if she had $12 after renting 2 movies and $6 on her card after renting 4 movies, the unit rate would be computed as: (12 - 6) / (4 - 2) = $3 per movie. This means that for every movie that Elyse rents, she spends $3 from her gift card.

Answer: A) We need 1 1/2 ft of ribbon

B)$1.60 per foot

C)$2.40 is the total

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the length around the jar is 18 inches and we know that there is 12 inches in a foot, and 3 feet in a yard and $ 4.80 per every 3 feet. These become basis numbers. 18in- 12inch= 6 inch. So now we have 1 1/2 feet of ribbon to cover the circumference of the jar. Now we are left to answer the second question how much does it cost per foot? We can divide 4.80 by 3 to see the total cost of a foot of ribbon. That turns to 1.60 per foot. We divide that by two to cover the 6 inches. And the answer is $2.40 for 1 1/2 feet of ribbon

Answer:

The number of marbles Richard has 24 and John has 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard has four times as many marbles as john.

If Richard have 18 to John they would have the same number.

Now, to find number of marbles each has.

Let the marbles of John be [tex]x[/tex].

And the marbles of Richard be [tex]4x.[/tex]

According to question:

[tex]4x=x+18.[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by [tex]x[/tex] we get:

[tex]3x=18.[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

[tex]x=6.[/tex]

Marbles of John = [tex]6.[/tex]

Marbles of Richard = [tex]4x=4\times 6=24[/tex]

Therefore, the number of marbles Richard has 24 and John has 6.

Final answer:

John has 12 marbles, and Richard has 48 marbles, as Richard has four times as many as John, and giving John 18 marbles would equalize their amounts.

Explanation:

To find the answer, we need to set up an equation based on the information provided: Richard has four times as many marbles as John, and if Richard gives John 18 marbles, they would have the same number.

Let's denote the number of marbles John has as J. Then Richard has 4J marbles. If Richard gives 18 marbles to John, Richard would have 4J - 18 marbles, and John would have J + 18 marbles. According to the problem, after the exchange, they have an equal number of marbles, so we can write the equation:

4J - 18 = J + 18

Solving for J, we move all the J terms to one side and numeric terms to the other side:

4J - J = 18 + 18

3J = 36

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

J = 12

So, John has 12 marbles. Since Richard has four times as many, he has 4 x 12 = 48 marbles. Therefore, Richard has 48 marbles and John has 12 marbles.

The cost of 2 pies and three cakes is $39.75

[tex]2x+3y=39.75[/tex]--------------(2)

Now we subtract equation 2 from equation 1.

[tex]2y=5.5[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5.5}{2}[/tex]

y=2.75

Now we substitute the value of y in equation 1.

[tex]2x+5\times 2.75=45.25[/tex]

[tex]2x+13.75=45.25[/tex]

[tex]2x=45.25-13.75[/tex]

[tex]2x=31.5[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{31.5}{2}[/tex]

x=15.75

So, The cost of each pie is $15.75

And the cost of each cake is $2.75

Final answer:

To find the cost of each pie and cake, two equations were set up based on the total cost of pies and cakes. By subtracting the second equation from the first, the cost of one cake was determined to be $2.75. Subsequently, the cost of one pie was calculated to be $15.75.

Explanation:

Calculating the Cost of Pies and Cakes

We have two equations based on the information provided:

2P + 5C = $45.25

2P + 3C = $39.75

Where P represents the cost of one pie, and C represents the cost of one cake. To solve for P and C, we can subtract the second equation from the first:

2P + 5C - (2P + 3C) = $45.25 - $39.75

2C = $5.50

C = $5.50 / 2

C = $2.75

Now that we know the cost of one cake, we can substitute C in one of the equations to find P:

2P + 5($2.75) = $45.25

2P + $13.75 = $45.25

2P = $45.25 - $13.75

2P = $31.50

P = $31.50 / 2

P = $15.75

Therefore, the cost of each pie is $15.75 and the cost of each cake is $2.75.
