If 164 of the 400 eighth-graders take none of these courses, then 400-164=236 students take some courses.

Let x students take all three courses, then:

1. 70-x take only both algebra and advanced computer,

2. 34-x take only both algebra and industrial technology,

3. 29-x take only both advanced computer and industrial technology.

Now let's count how many student take only one course:

1. 117-(x+34-x+70-x)=13+x take algebra,

2. 109-(x+29-x+70-x)=10+x take advanced computer,

3. 114-(x+29-x+34-x)=51+x take industrial technology.

Now count all students that take some courses:

51+x+10+x+13+x+29-x+34-x+70-x+x=236,

x=236-51-10-13-29-34-70,

x=29.

Answer: all three courses take 29 students.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A set is a clearly defined collection of objects.

To declare a set can be done in various ways such as:

  • With words or the nature of membership
  • With set notation
  • By registering its members
  • With Venn diagrams

Multiplying set A x B is by pairing each member of set A with each member of set B.

<u>Example: </u>

<em>A = {1, 2, 3} </em>

<em>B = {a, b} </em>

Then

A x B = {(1, a), (1, b), (2, a), (2, b), (3, a), (3, b)}

Union of set A and B ( A ∪ B ) is rewriting each member A and combined with each member B.

Intersection of set A and B ( A ∩ B ) is to find the members that are both in Set A and Set B.

<u>Example: </u>

<em>A = {1, 2, 3, 4} </em>

<em>B = {3, 4, 5} </em>

A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

A ∩ B = {3, 4}

Let us now tackle the problem!

To solve this problem, it is better to draw the Venn diagram as shown in the picture in the attachment.

Let :

x → students take all three courses

y = 34 - x → students only take both algebra and industrial technology

z = 29 - x → students only take both computer and industrial technology

w = 70 - x → students only take both algebra and computer

p = 117 - w - x - y = 13 + x → students only take algebra

q = 114 - x - y - z = 51 + x → students only take industrial technology

r = 109 - x - z - w = 10 + x → students only take computer

t = 164 → students take none of these courses

Because the total number of students is 400 people, then :

p + q + r + x + y + z + w + t = 400

(13 + x) + (51 + x) + ( 10 + x ) + x + (34 - x) + (29 - x) + (70 - x) + 164 = 400

371 + x = 400

x = 400 - 371

\large {\boxed{x = 29} }

The cost of producing x soccer balls in thousands of dollars is represented by h(x) = 5x + 6. The revenue is represented by
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(k-h)(x) = 4x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Profit = Revenue - Cost

Basically we gotta subtract cost function from revenue function and get the profit function.

The cost function is h(x) = 5x + 6

The revenue function is k(x) = 9x - 2

Hence, Profit is:

(k-h)(x) = (9x - 2) - (5x + 6)

(k-h)(x) = 9x -2 - 5x - 6

(k-h)(x) = 4x - 8

A rectangle has a perimeter of 18 inches. a new rectangle is formed by doubling the with W in tripling the length L as shown the
vladimir1956 [14]

a) The dimensions of original rectangle are length= 5 and width= 4.

b) The dimensions of new rectangle are length= 15 and width=8.

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

  • length of a rectangle = l
  • width of a rectangle = w
  • Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

<u>Original rectangle</u> :

18 = 2(l+w)

18 = 2l + 2w ---------(1)

<u>New rectangle</u> :

46 = 2(3l+2w)

46 = 6l + 4w ---------(2)

<u>Solving the equations</u> :

Multiply (1) by 2 and subtract (2) from (1)

 4l + 4w = 36

-(<u>6l + 4w = 46</u>)

 <u>-2l        = -10</u>

l = 10/2

length = 5 inches.

Substitute l=5 in (1)

18 = 2(5)+2w

18 = 10+2w

2w = 8

w = 8/2

width = 4 inches.

length of new rectangle = 3(l) = 3\times5 = 15 inches.

width of new rectangle = 2(w) = 2\times4 = 8 inches.

Each day, X arrives at point A between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., his times of arrival being uniformly distributed. Y arrives independe
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Y will arrive earlier than X one fourth of times.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we might notice that given that both events are independent of each other, the joint probability density function is the product of X and Y's probability density functions. For an uniformly distributed density function, we have that:

f_X(x) = \frac{1}{L}

Where L stands for the length of the interval over which the variable is distributed.

Now, as  X is distributed over a 1 hour interval, and Y is distributed over a 0.5 hour interval, we have:

f_X(x) = 1\\\\f_Y(y)=2.

Now, the probability of an event is equal to the integral of the density probability function:

\iint_A f_{X,Y} (x,y) dx\, dy

Where A is the in which the event happens, in this case, the region in which Y<X (Y arrives before X)

It's useful to draw a diagram here, I have attached one in which you can see the integration region.

You can see there a box, that represents all possible outcomes for Y and X. There's a diagonal coming from the box's upper right corner, that diagonal represents the cases in which both X and Y arrive at the same time, under that line we have that Y arrives before X, that is our integration region.

Let's set up the integration:

\iint_A f_{X,Y} (x,y) dx\, dy\\\\\iint_A f_{X} (x) \, f_{Y} (y) dx\, dy\\\\2 \iint_A  dx\, dy

We have used here both the independence of the events and the uniformity of distributions, we take the 2 out because it's just a constant and now we just need to integrate. But the function we are integrating is just a 1! So we can take the integral as just the area of the integration region. From the diagram we can see that the region is a triangle of height 0.5 and base 0.5. thus the integral becomes:

2 \iint_A  dx\, dy= 2 \times \frac{0.5 \times 0.5 }{2} \\\\2 \iint_A  dx\, dy= \frac{1}{4}

That means that one in four times Y will arrive earlier than X. This result can also be seen clearly on the diagram, where we can see that the triangle is a fourth of the rectangle.

Mary is a scientist. Using a microscope, she looks at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face ha
Annette [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:

s=0.1mm

This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:

No. \ units=\frac{0.1mm}{0,01mm}=10

So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.
