1600 children and 1400 adults attended

<h3>How to determine the number of adults?</h3>

Let the children be x and adult be y.

So, we have the following equations:

x + y = 3000

1.5x + 5y = 9400

Make x the subject in x + y = 3000

x = 3000 - y

Substitute x = 3000 - y  in 1.5x + 5y = 9400

1.5(3000 - y) + 5y = 9400

Expand

4500 - 1.5y + 5y = 9400

Evaluate the like terms

3.5y = 4900

Divide both sides by 3.5

y = 1400

Substitute y = 1400 in x = 3000 - y

x = 3000 - 1400

Evaluate

x = 1600

Hence, 1600 children and 1400 adults attended

Sketch the region bounded by the curves, and visually estimate the location of the centroid. y = 2x, y = 0, x = 1 WebAssign Plot
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

the graph is in the attachment.

the coordinates of the centroid : (2/3,2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • y=0 represents x-axis ( you can easily mark it on the graph)
  • now draw x=1 line.( It is a line parallel to y axis and passing through the point (1,0) )
  • y=2x is a line which passes through origin and has a slope "2"

by using these sketch the region.

I have uploaded the region bounded in the attachment. You may refer it. The region shaded with grey is the required region.

  • to find centroid:

it can be easily identified that the formed region is a triangle

  • the coordinates of three vertices of the triangle are

(1,2) , (0,0) , (1,0)

( See the graph. the three intersection points of the lines are the three vertices of the triangle)

  • for general FORMULA, let the coordinates of three vertices of a triangle PQR be P(a,b) , Q(c,d) , R(e,f)
  • then the coordinates of the centroid( let say , G) of the triangle is given by

G = (\frac{a+c+e}{3}  , \frac{b+d+f}{3} )

  • therefore , the exact coordinates of the centroid =

(\frac{1+0+1}{3}, \frac{2+0+0}{3}  ) = (\frac{2}{3}, \frac{2}{3} )

this point is marked as G in the graph uploaded.

Evaluate the given expression. Subscript 5 Baseline P Subscript 2 a. 40 c. 25 b. 32 d. 20
Leto [7]

Answer:

d. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question implies 5 permutation 2, i.e _{5}P_{2}.

But,

_{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}

So that for _{5}P_{2}, n = 5 and r = 2.

_{5}P_{2} = \frac{5!}{(5 - 2)!}

     = \frac{5!}{3!}

    = \frac{5*4*3*2!}{3*2!}

Cancel out 3 and 2 with respect to the numerator and denominator.

_{5}P_{2} = 5 * 4

     = 20

Therefore,

_{5}P_{2} = 20

So that the correct option is D.
