An individual is planning a trip to a baseball game for 16 people. Of the people planning to go to the baseball game, 8 can go o

Sedaia [141]

Answer: There are 4 people who only go to the game on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people go on Saturday be n(A).

Let the number of people go on Sunday be n(B).

Since we have given that

n(A) = 8

n(B) = 12

n(A∪B) = 16

According to rules, we get that

$n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=n(A\cup B)\\\\8+12-n(A\cap B)=16\\\\20-n(A\cap B)=16\\\\n(A\cap B)=20-16=4$

So, n(only go on Saturday) = n(only A) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 8-4 = 4

Hence, there are 4 people who only go to the game on Saturday.

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = (3x^2 + 9x + 6) / (3x - 6) ?

cricket20 [7]

3x^2 + 9x + 6 = 0
3x^2 + 3x + 6x + 6 = 0
3x(x + 1) + 6(x + 1) = 0
(3x + 6)(x + 1) = 0
3x + 6 = 0 and x + 1 = 0
3x = -6 and x = -1
x = -2 and x = -1

What were some of the challenges pilgrims faced on their journey

EleoNora [17]

On the ocean Pilgrims encounter fierce storms, disease, and their ship falls into disrepair. During the first winter they lack shelter, warmth, and food.

The Pilgrims struggled to build homes, and many families crowded into the few homes that were built. Food was scarce, and many Pilgrims starved to death that first winter.

Hope this helped
