You are hosting a convention for a charitable organization. You pay a rental fee of $28,500 for the convention center, plus you

pay the caterer $13 for each person who attends the convention. Suppose you just want to break even.
How many must attend if you are to break even with a ticket price of $51?

You have to add the $51 to $13 and find the answer then divide the sum by $28,500

Answer:

750

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: You are hosting a convention for a charitable organization. You pay a rental fee of \$28500 for the convention center, plus you pay the caterer \$13 for each person who attends the convention.

To Find: How many must attend if you are to break even with a ticket price of \$51.

Solution:

Rent of convention center =\$28500

Amount paid to caterer for each person =\$13

Cost of ticket of convention =\$51

Amount earned from each per person =\text{Cost of ticket}-\text{amount paid to caterer}

=51-13=\$38

To break even, the amount earned from all persons attending should be equal to rent

Let the number of persons be =\text{x}

Amount earned from all person =\text{amount earned from one person}\times\text{number of persons}

=\$38\text{x}

Total number of persons,  \text{x}=\frac{\text{Amount to be earned}}{\text{amount earned from one person}}

                                          =\frac{28500}{38}

                                          =750

Therefore 750 persons must attend the convention to break even with a ticket price of \$51.

Which of the following is not one of the 8th roots of unity?
Anika [276]

Answer:

1+i

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 8th roots of unity, you have to find the trigonometric form of unity.

1.  Since z=1=1+0\cdot i, then

Rez=1,\\ \\Im z=0

and

|z|=\sqrt{1^2+0^2}=1,\\ \\\\\cos\varphi =\dfrac{Rez}{|z|}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1,\\ \\\sin\varphi =\dfrac{Imz}{|z|}=\dfrac{0}{1}=0.

This gives you \varphi=0.

Thus,

z=1\cdot(\cos 0+i\sin 0).

2. The 8th roots can be calculated using following formula:

\sqrt[8]{z}=\{\sqrt[8]{|z|} (\cos\dfrac{\varphi+2\pi k}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{\varphi+2\pi k}{8}), k=0,\ 1,\dots,7\}.

Now

at k=0,  z_0=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 0}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 0}{8})=1\cdot (1+0\cdot i)=1;

at k=1,  z_1=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 1}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 1}{8})=1\cdot (\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};

at k=2,  z_2=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 2}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 2}{8})=1\cdot (0+1\cdot i)=i;

at k=3,  z_3=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 3}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 3}{8})=1\cdot (-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};

at k=4,  z_4=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 4}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 4}{8})=1\cdot (-1+0\cdot i)=-1;

at k=5,  z_5=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 5}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 5}{8})=1\cdot (-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};

at k=6,  z_6=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 6}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 6}{8})=1\cdot (0-1\cdot i)=-i;

at k=7,  z_7=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 7}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 7}{8})=1\cdot (\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};

The 8th roots are

\{1,\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ i, -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ -1, -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ -i,\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\}.

Option C is icncorrect.

Find the sum (the total measure) of the interior angles of an Octagon. Show all of your work
tatiyna
One way to do this is use the fact that the exterior angles of all polygons add up to 360 degrees
So an exterior angle of a regular octagon  = 360 / 8 = 45 degrees.
So each interior angle = 180 - 45 = 135 degrees

so total measure of all angles in octagon = 8 * 135 =  1080 degrees

Answer:

11 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

It is hard to explain in my opinion but I can try. For the stem column you, basically factor out the first digit of the number. Then the leaf column you, put the second digit of each number in your data set.
