A stadium that seats 35,000 is slowly filling up with fans. The game starts at four o’clock. At noon the stadium owner estimates

there are 4,000 fans who have already arrived early. At one o’clock he estimates just over 11,000 fans have found their seats and they appear to be coming in at a steady rate. He knows his stadium will be more than ninety percent full by game time. Choose the function below that best models this situation and tracks attendance from Noon to game time.
A. f(x)= .90x + 4,000
B. f(x)= 7,000x + 4,000
C. f(x)= 4,000x + 4,000
D. f(x)= 11,000x + 4,000

Answer:

B. f(x) = 7000x + 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best function for this situation, we need to list down all the things that we know first.

We currently have:

35000 total seats

4000 fans

11000 fans after an hour

So that means that after an hour, we had:

11000 fans - 4000 fans = 7000 fans

At one o'clock we had 7000 more fans arrive.

So we can assume that:

x = number of hours

f(x) = 7000x + 4000 will be the best function to use to find out if there that 90% of the stadium will be filled by game time.

To test this function let's use it:

f(1) = 7000(1) + 4000

f(1) = 11000

This is after hour 1.

Now let's see after hour 4 since the game starts at 4.

f(4) = 7000(4) + 4000

f(4) = 28000 + 4000

f(4) = 32000

So 90% of 35000 is:

35000 x 0.90 = 31500

By game time we have 32000 fans which is above 90% of the total number of seats.

So the stadium owners estimate is correct.

g Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that thefollowing random variables can take on:(a) the maximu

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

(a) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume each roll can result in the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

(a) If both rolls result in a 1, the maximum value is 1. If either roll results in a 6, the maximum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) If either roll results in a 1, the minimum value is 1. If both rolls result in a 6, the minimum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) If both rolls result in a 1, the sum is 2. If both rolls results in a 6, the sum is 12; all integers between 2 and 12 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) If the first roll results in a 1 and the second results in a 6, the result is -5. On the other hand, if the first roll results in a 6 and the second results in a 1, the result is 5; all integers between -5 and 5 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

In circle o,find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x \approx 5.4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break down this problem by first realizing different parts of the circle.

The line which is 8 units long is a chord of the circle.
The line that is 3.6 is <em>almost</em> the radius of the circle
The line that x sits on is the radius.

With this, we can find out if we find the radius of the circle, we have our answer.

We should also note that the angle formed by the 3.6 units long line and the chord is a right angle.

<em>What we need is a way to find the radius of the circle</em><em>. This will get us x</em>. The radius of a circle will be the length of any line that starts from point O and ends at the circle edge.

If we draw a line connecting the end of the 3.6 line at point O to the end of the 8 unit long chord, we get a triangle! (Image attached for reference).

We can solve for the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem states that:

$\displaystyle a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Since we know one side is 3.6, we can use that as A. The second side will be 4 since the 3.6 line lies directly in the center of the chord = 8/2 = 4!

$3.6^2 + 4^2 = c^2$
$12.96+16=c^2$
$28.96=c^2$
$\sqrt{28.96} = c$
$5.4 \approx c$

Therefore, since this is the radius of the circle (also the hypotenuse), this can be said for any line that comes from point O onto the edge of the circle.

The line X does just that. Therefore, the value of x is also 5.4.

Hope this helped!

Matthew visited the fruits garden last weekend and helped farmers count the fruits. There were 10% more dragon fruits than passi

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of passion fruits=x

number of dragon fruits=x+10% of x

=x+0.1 x=(1+0.1)x=1.1 x

total number of fruits=x+1.1 x=(1+1.1)x=2.1 x

1.1x+60% of 1.1x+x+9% of x=2.1x+75

1.1 x+0.6 of 1.1 x+x+0.09 of x=2.1x+75

1.1x+0.66 x+x+0.09 of x =2.1x+75

2.1 x+0.75x-2.1 x=75

0.75 x=75

$\frac{75}{100}x =75\\x=75 \times \frac{100}{75} =100\\Originally ~total ~number~ of~ fruits=2.1x=2.1 \times100=210$

In the parallelogram below,<br> x = [? ]°<br> Z<br> 339<br> 1249

diamong [38]

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle x and the two given angles form a triangle. The interior angles of a triangle add up to be 180.

so

$124 + 33 + x = 180$

$157 + x = 180$

$x = 23$
