Answer:

<h2><em><u>960 people </u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If each side of the basketball arena is 20 ft. X 30 ft, the area of each side of the basketball arena = 20ft * 30ft = 600ft².

Since all the four sides are filled with people, the total area of the 4 sides will be expressed as 4*600 = 2400ft²

If each person takes up 2.5ft², total number of people in the arena will  be gotten by simply dividing the area of all the four sides by the area took up by each person.

Total number of people in the arena = area of all the four sides by the area/ area took up by each person.

Total number of people in the arena = 2400/2.5

Total number of people in the arena  = 960 people.

<em><u></u></em>

<em><u>Hence there are approximately 960 people in the arena.</u></em>

The spring has a stiffness k=200n/m and is unstretched when the 25 kg block is at
g100num [7]
To solve this we are going to use the formula fro the force applied to a spring: F=ks
where
k is the spring constant 
s is the extension 

Since we know the F=ma, we can replace that in our formula and solve for a :
ma=ks
a= \frac{ks}{m}
where
a is the acceleration 
k is the spring constant
s is the extension 
m is the mass

We know for our problem that k=200, s=0.4, and m=25. So lets replace those values in our formula to find a:
a= \frac{ks}{m}
a= \frac{(200)(0.4)}{25}
a=3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}

We can conclude that the acceleration of the block when s=0.4m is 3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}.

Using the midpoint method, find the cross-price elasticity of demand for FedEx and UPS overnight shipping if the price of FedEx
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Cross price elasticity using midpoint method = 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the mid-point method

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand = <u>% change in Quantity demanded of UPS</u>

                                                          % change of price of FedEx

%change in Quantity demanded of UPS

using Mid-point method                          = <u> Q2-Q1           </u>  × 100

                                                                     (Q1+Q2)÷ 2

                                      = <u>1.3-1.2           </u>   × 100

                                        (1.2+1.3)÷2

                                     = <u>0.1      </u> × 100

                                       1.25

                                     = 8%

% change in price of FedEx

using midpoint method    =<u> P2-P1            </u>× 100

                                             (P1+P2)÷ 2

                                          =<u> 75-65           </u>× 100

                                            (65+75)÷2

                                          =<u> 10  </u>   × 100

                                             70

                                          = 14.28%

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand =  8% ÷ 14.28%

using midpoint method                = 0.56

James is four years younger than Austin. If three times James' age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.
lara31 [8.8K]
Let's use J for James's age and A for Austin's age. The equations are:

J = A - 4
3J + A² = 28

Just plug (A - 4) in the place of J in the second equation. This gives you:

3(A - 4) + A² = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 12 = 28
--> 
A² + 3A - 40 = 0
--> 
(A - 5)(A + 8) = 0
-->
A = 5 or -8

-8 is nonsense, so Austin is 5 years old. Therefore, James is 1 year old.

Which equation is the inverse of y = 2x2 – 8?​
natita [175]

The inverse of the function is y=\pm \sqrt{\frac{x+8}{2}}

Explanation:

To find the inverse of the equation y=2x^{2} -8, we need to interchange the variables x and y for the variables y and x.

Thus, the equation becomes

x=2y^{2} -8

Now, we shall find the value of y.

Now, adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we have,

x+8=2y^{2}

Interchanging the sides,

2y^{2} =x+8

Dividing by 2 on both sides,

y^{2} =\frac{x+8}{2}

Taking square root on both sides,

y=\pm \sqrt{\frac{x+8}{2}}

Thus, the inverse of the function is y=\pm \sqrt{\frac{x+8}{2}}

What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options. (0,3) (3,0) A. y = -x + 3 B.
qaws [65]
The correct answer is Choice A.

If you plot the points on a graph, you will see that there is a slope of -1 and the y-intercept is (0, 3).

This matches the equation of y = -x + 3 in Choice A.
