We have been given that there are 125 people and three door prizes.

In the first part we need to figure out how many ways can three door prizes of $50 each be distributed?

Since there are total 125 people and there are three identical door prices, therefore, we need to use combinations for this part.

Hence, the required number of ways are:

_{3}^{125}\textrm{C}=\frac{125!}{122!3!}=\frac{125*124*123}{1*2*3}=317750

In the next part, we need to figure out how many ways can door prizes of $5,000, $500 and $50 be distributed?

Since we have total 125 people and there are three prices of different values, therefore, the required number of ways can be figured out by using permutations.

_{3}^{125}\textrm{P}=\frac{125!}{122!}=125*124*123=1906500

Each of the linear factors occurs precisely once, so the sign of the given rational expression will change at each of the points where one of the linear factors is zero. That is at:

x

=

−

,

4

Note that when

x

is large, the

x

terms will dominate the values of the numerator and denominator, making both positive.

Hence the sign of the value of the rational expression in each of the intervals

and

follows the pattern

. Hence the intervals

and

are both part of the solution set.

When

x

=

−

1

or

x

=

4

, the denominator is zero so the rational expression is undefined. Since the numerator is non-zero at those values, the function will have vertical asymptotes at those points (and not satisfy the inequality).

When

x

=

−

3

or

x

=

2

, the numerator is zero and the denominator is non-zero. So the function will be zero and satisfy the inequality at those points.

Hence the solution is:

x

Ok so I found the area of a rectangle.
Kay [80]

Answer:

  circle area = 1963.495 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  A rectangle 550 ft by 350 ft packed with circles on a rectangular grid

<u>Find</u>

  the area of the largest circle that can be packed this way

<u>Solution</u>

The diameter of the circle must be a factor of both 350 and 550. We want the diameter to be the largest such factor. We can write the factors of 350 and 550 as ...

  • 350 = 50 × 7
  • 550 = 50 × 11

The largest factor common to both numbers is 50, so that will be the diameter of the largest circle that will fit on a square grid.

The area of a circle is commonly given by the formula ...

  A = πr² . . . . . where r represents the radius of the circle.

The radius is half the diameter, so will be (50 ft)/2 = 25 ft. And the area of the circle is ...

  A = π(25 ft)² = 625π ft² ≈ 1963.495 ft²

The area of one circle is about 1963.495 square feet.

_____

The total number of circles is 11×7 = 77. Their total area is 77×1963.495 ft² ≈ 151,189 ft². This is 151,189/192,400 ≈ 78.54% of the total area of the rectangle.
