Answer:  Football = 35 children

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

I created a Venn diagram and labeled it as follows:

Tennis only = x

Both Tennis & Football = y

<u>Football only </u>= <u>x + y     </u>

Total children = x + y + x + y

                42 = 2x + 2y

We are also given that y = 2x <em>(twice as many play both tennis & football as just play tennis)</em>

Now we have two equations and can use substitution to solve for x & y:

42 = 2x + 2y

 y = 2x

                      42 = (y) + 2y

                      42 = 3y

                      14 = y

Now let's find x:

y = 2x

14 = 2x

7  = x

We are asked to find how many children play football.

                       Football = x + y        

<u>Both Tennis & Football</u> =<u>    y     </u>

             Total Football =  x + 2y

                                    = 7 + 2(14)

                                    = 7 + 28

                                   = 35

A heap of rubbish in the shape of a cube is being compacted into a smaller cube. Given that the volume decreases at a rate of 3
inna [77]

Answer:

-1/4 meter per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the volume of a cube,

V=r^3

Where, r is the edge of the cube,

Differentiating with respect to t ( time )

\frac{dV}{dt}=3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

Given, \frac{dV}{dt}=-3\text{ cubic meters per minute}

Also, V = 8 ⇒ r = ∛8 = 2,

By substituting the values,

-3=3(2)^2 \frac{dr}{dt}

-3=12\frac{dr}{dt}

\implies \frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{3}{12}=-\frac{1}{4}

Hence, the rate of change of an edge is -1/4 meter per minute.

Geoffrey is evaluating the expression StartFraction (negative 3) cubed (2 Superscript 6 Baseline) Over (Negative 3) Superscript
makkiz [27]

The mathematical expression does not seem clear but I have made an attempt to make sense of what is implied.

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 16, <em>d</em> = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = \dfrac{(2)^a}{(-3)^b} = \dfrac{c}{d}

Solving the first part of the question by indices,

\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = (-3)^{3-5}(2)^{6-2} = (-3)^{-2}(2)^{4} = \dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2}

Comparing the rightmost term with the second term in the question,

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2

Solving on,

\dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2} = \dfrac{(2)\times(2)\times(2)\times(2)}{(-3)\times(-3)} = \dfrac{16}{9}

Comparing with the final term in the question,

<em>c</em> = 16 and <em>d</em> = 9

Therefore,

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 16, <em>d</em> = 9
