The Political Action Club has surveyed \( 270 \) students on your campus regarding the relationship between their political affiliation and their preference in the \( 2016 \) presidential election. The results are given in the following table. If a student is selected randomly from those surveyed, find the probability that the student is an Independent, given that the student preferred candidate B.
Follow the steps below to find the nonnegative numbers \( x \) and \( y \) that satisfy the given requirements. Give the optimum value of the indicated expression. Complete parts (a) through (f) below.
\( x + y = 170 \) and the product \( P = x y \) as large as possible.
(d) Find \( \frac { d P } { d x } \) . Solve the equation \( \frac { d P } { d x } = 0 \) .
\( \frac { d P } { d x } = 170 - 2 x \) and when \( \frac { d P } { d x } = 0 , x = 85 \) (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
(e) Evaluate \( P \) at any solutions found in part (d), as well as at the endpoints of the domain found in part (c).
To answer the first part, select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) within your choice.
A. There was one solution in part (d). For that solution, \( P = 7225 \) .
B. There were two solutions in part (d). For the lesser value of \( x , P = \) . For the greater value of \( x , P = \)
Evaluate \( P \) at the endpoints of the domain. At the lower endpoint, \( P = \square \) . At the upper endpoint, \( P = \square \) .
A person standing close to the edge on top of a \( 112 \) -foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function \( h = - 16 t ^ { 2 } + 96 t + 112 \) models the ball's height above the ground, \( h \) , in feet, \( t \) seconds after it was thrown.
a) What is the maximum height of the ball?
b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground? seconds
Consider the function \( f ( x ) = 5 x - 8 \) and find the following: a) The average rate of change between the points \( ( - 1 , f ( - 1 ) ) \) and \( ( 4 , f ( 4 ) ) \) .
b) The average rate of change between the points \( ( a , f ( a ) ) \) and \( ( b , f ( b ) ) \) .
c) The average rate of change between the points \( ( x , f ( x ) ) \) and \( ( x + h , f ( x + h ) ) \)
Using the given graph of the function \( f \) , find the following.
(a) the intercepts, if any
(b) its domain and range
(c) the intervals on which it is increasing, decreasing, or constant
(d) whether it is even, odd, or neither
