Answer:

<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>

Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.

All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.

List the prime factors of each number:

20: 2,2,5

15: 3,5

27: 3,3,3

Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:

LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540

(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.

(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.

Give the degree of the polynomial <br> -3w+x^6y^5-2+5y^4w^3x^2
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Here the degree of the polynomial is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the degree of the multivariate polynomials, we need to add up the powers of all the variables.   So the total degree is given by the sum of all the powers of the highest powers terms.

Now in the given polynomial -3w+x^6y^5-2+5y^4w^3x^2

the term with the highest total powers is x^6y^5 and thus the total power is 6+5=11.

And hence the degree of this polynomial is 11.

A theater has a seating capacity of 750 and charges $3 for children, s5 for students, and $7 for adults. At a certain screening
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Between 150 and 450

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to find the number by resolving  a system of linear equations.

First we write the system equations :

C+S+A=750

Where C : children, S : students and A : adults

The equation represents the ''full attendance''

The second equation :

3C+5S+7A=3450

This equation represents the totaled receipts.

The system :

C+S+A=750\\3C+5S+7A=3450

has the following associated matrix :

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&750\\3&5&7&3450\end{array}\right]

By performing elementary matrix operations we find that the matrix is equivalent to

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-1&150\\0&1&2&600\\\end{array}\right]

The new system :

C-A=150\\S+2A=600

Working with the equations :

C = 150 + A\\S = 600-2A

Our solution vector is :

\left[\begin{array}{c}C&S&A\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}150+A&600-2A&A\end{array}\right]

For example :

If 0 adults attended ⇒ A = 0

C = 150 + 0 \\C = 150\\S = 600 - 2A\\S = 600

This verify the totaled receipts equation :

150($3)+600($5) = $ 3450

A ≥ 0 ⇒ If A = 0 ⇒ C = 150

C = 150 is the minimum children attendance

From the equation :

S = 600 -2A

S ≥0

600 - 2A ≥ 0

600 ≥ 2A

300≥ A

A is restricted to the interval [ 0, 300]

When A = 0 ⇒ C = 150

When A = 300 ⇒C = 150 + A = 150 + 300 = 450

Children ∈ [ 150,450]

With C being an integer number (including 0)

Also S and A are integer numbers (including 0)
