Answer:

Option A. 17.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that stems are in whole percent and leaves are tenths of percent which means if we take the first steam value of 5 7;

it means that 5 is whole percent and 7 will be written as  \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 percent which as a whole indicate that the first stem leaf represent 5.7% of residents aged 65 and over.

Now the highest percent of older residents for Florida will be the last stem leaf in the data given as 17 + 0.6 will represent 17.6% which is the highest among all others.

5.7% is the lowest of them all and there is no value as of 176% in the given stem leaf plot data.

Therefore option A id correct with 17.6% percent as of Florida.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

log(x^7·y^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules are ...

... log(a^b) = b·log(a)

... log(ab) = log(a) +log(b)

_____

The first term, 7log(x) can be rewritten as log(x^7). Note that an exponentiation operator is needed when this is written as text.

The second term 2log(y) can be rewritten as log(y^2). These two rewrites make use of the first rule above.

Now, you have the sum ...

... log(x^7) +log(y^2)

The second rule tells you this can be rewritten as ...

... log(x^7·y^2) . . . . . seems to match the intent of the 3rd selection
