It is said that 85% of the students liked reading mystery stories. This means the remaining 15% don't like to read these stories. If there are 30 students belonging to the second category, then the number of students who liked reading mystery stories is (30/0.15)*0.85 equal to 170 students out of 200 students.

What is the difference between a factor of a number and a multiple of a number? use the number 25 has an example
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

  • factor: a submultiple; an integer value that gives an integer quotient when the number is divided by it.
  • multiple: the product of the number and another integer

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Factors</h3>

A set of factors of a number (N) is a set of integers {f1, f2, f3, ...} whose product is the number:

  f1 × f2 × f3 × ... = N

Often the term "factors" is used to mean "prime factors," the set of prime numbers whose product is N.

When N = 25, the prime factors are {5, 5}. That is ...

  5×5 = 25

__

<h3>Divisors</h3>

A "divisor" of a number is a sub-multiple of N. That is, the quotient N/k is an integer for some divisor k of N. Usually, we're interested in integer divisors. All prime factors will be integer divisors of N. The term "factor" is often used when the term "divisor" is meant.

Divisors of N = 25 include 1, 5, and 25. There will be an odd number of integer divisors (as here) if the number N is a perfect square.

__

<h3>Multiples</h3>

For an integer k, the value k×N is called a <em>multiple</em> of N, often, the <em>k-th multiple</em> of N.

Multiples of 25 include 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and any other decimal number ending in 25, 50, 75, or 00.

__

<em>Another example</em>

When N=30, the prime factors are {2, 3, 5}. The divisors are {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30}. (Note there are an even number of divisors.) Multiples of 30 include 30, 60, 90, 120, ....

A company manufactures two different sizes of boat lifts. The smaller lift requires 1 hour in the welding department and 2 hours
qaws [65]

Answer:

  • The solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 small lifts and 50 large lifts.
  • Below are all the steps explained in detail.
  • The graph is attached.

Explanation:

<u />

<u>1. Name the variables:</u>

  • x: number of smaller lifts
  • y: number of larger lifts

<u></u>

<u>2.  Build a table to determine the number of hours each lift requires from each department:</u>

<u></u>

Number of hours

                                        small lift    large lift   total per department

Welding department            1x             3y                x + 3y

Packaging department        2x             1y                2x + y

<u></u>

<u>3. Constraints</u>

  • 150 hours available in welding:         x + 3y ≤ 150
  • 120 hours available in packaging:   2x + y ≤ 120
  • The variables cannot be negative:    x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0

Then you must:

  • draw the lines and regions defined by each constraint
  • determine the region of solution that satisfies all the constraints
  • determine the vertices of the solution region
  • test the profit function for each of the vertices. The vertex that gives the greatest profit is the solution (the number of each tupe that should be produced to maximize profits)

<u></u>

<u>4. Graph</u>

See the graph attached.

Here is how you draw it.

  • x + 3y ≤ 150
  • draw the line x + 3y = 150 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
  • shade the region below and to the left of the line

  • 2x + y ≤ 120
  • draw the line 2x + y ≤ 120 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
  • shade the region below and to the left of the line

  • x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0: means that only the first quadrant is considered

  • the solution region is the intersection of the regions described above.

  • take the points that are vertices inside the solutoin region.

<u>5. Test the profit function for each vertex</u>

The profit function is P(x,y) = 25x + 90y

The vertices shown in the graph are:

  • (0,0)
  • (0,50)
  • (42,36)
  • (60,0)

The profits with the vertices are:

  • P(0,0) = 0
  • P(0,50) = 25(0) + 90(50) = 4,500
  • P(42,36) = 25(42) + 90(36) = 4,290
  • P(60,0) = 25(60) + 90(0) = 1,500

Thus, the solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 smaller lifts and 90 larger lifts.

Which expression is equivalent to log_5(x/4)^2?
viktelen [127]

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

log_ {5} (\frac {x} {4}) ^ 2

So:

We expanded log_ {5} ((\frac {x} {4}) ^ 2)by moving 2 out of the logarithm:

2log_ {5} (\frac {x} {4})

By definition of logarithm properties we have to:

The logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of each factor:

log (xy) = log (x) + log (y)

The logarithm of a division is equal to the difference of logarithms of the numerator and denominator.

log (\frac {x} {y}) = log (x) -log (y)

Then, rewriting the expression:

2 (log_ {5} (x) -log_ {5} (4))

We apply distributive property:

2log_ {5} (x) -2log_ {5} (4)

Answer:

An equivalent expression is:

2log_ {5} (x) -2log_ {5} (4)
