question:Let g(x) be an odd function. Determine whether g(g(g(g(x)))) is even, odd, or neither.
answer:If g(x) is an odd function, this means that g(-x) = -g(x). We need to evaluate g(g(g(g(x)))) under the assumption that g(x) is odd. 1. Apply the property of odd function to g(g(x)): [ g(g(-x)) = g(-g(x)) = -g(g(x)). ] Thus, g(g(x)) is an even function since replacing x with -x results in the same function value but negated. 2. Now, evaluate g(g(g(g(x)))) keeping in mind that g(g(x)) is even: [ g(g(g(g(-x)))) = g(g(g(g(x)))) ] because g(g(x)) being even implies that g applied to g(x) or -g(x) yields the same result. Therefore, g(g(g(g(x)))) is an even function. Conclusion: The function g(g(g(g(x)))) is boxed{text{even}}.
question:A solution is a certain percentage lemonade and 80 percent carbonated water by volume. Another solution is 45 percent lemonade and 55 percent carbonated water by volume. If a mixture of these two solutions contains 72 percent carbonated water, and 67.99999999999997 percent of the volume of the mixture is the first solution, what percent of the first solution is lemonade?
answer:Let's denote the percentage of lemonade in the first solution as L%. The percentage of carbonated water in the first solution is then 100% - L%. The second solution is 45% lemonade and 55% carbonated water. We are mixing these two solutions such that 67.99999999999997% (which we can round to 68% for simplicity) of the mixture is the first solution, and the remaining 32% is the second solution. The total percentage of carbonated water in the mixture is 72%. We can set up an equation to represent the mixture of carbonated water from both solutions: 68% * (100% - L%) + 32% * 55% = 72% Now, let's solve for L: 0.68 * (100 - L) + 0.32 * 55 = 72 68 - 0.68L + 17.6 = 72 68 - 0.68L = 72 - 17.6 68 - 0.68L = 54.4 0.68L = 68 - 54.4 0.68L = 13.6 L = 13.6 / 0.68 L = 20 Therefore, the first solution is boxed{20%} lemonade.
question:From the six digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, selecting three different digits each time, how many distinct 3digit even numbers can be formed?
answer:To form a 3-digit even number using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, we must consider different cases based on the number of even digits selected and their positions: 1. **One even digit**: If only one even digit is selected, it must be in the units place to ensure the number is even. The number of ways to choose the even digit is C_{3}^{1}, and the number of ways to arrange the remaining two digits is A_{3}^{2}. Therefore, the total is C_{3}^{1} times A_{3}^{2} = 3 times 6 = 18. 2. **Two even digits, including zero**: If one of the even digits is zero, we have two subcases: - **Zero in the units place**: This is not possible because the number would not be even. - **Zero in the tens place**: The number of ways to choose the non-zero even digit for the units place is C_{2}^{1}, and the choice for the hundreds place is C_{3}^{1}. Thus, the total is C_{2}^{1} times C_{3}^{1} = 2 times 3 = 6. 3. **Two even digits, excluding zero**: If neither of the even digits is zero, the even digit for the units place can be chosen in C_{2}^{1} ways. There are A_{2}^{1} choices for the hundreds place and A_{2}^{2} ways to arrange the remaining digit. The total is C_{3}^{1} times A_{2}^{1} times A_{2}^{2} = 3 times 2 times 2 = 12. 4. **Three even digits**: If all three selected digits are even, the hundred's place can't be zero, so there are A_{2}^{1} ways to choose the hundreds place and the remaining two digits can be arranged in A_{2}^{2} ways. Therefore, the total number of combinations is A_{2}^{1} times A_{2}^{2} = 2 times 2 = 4. Adding all the cases together: 18 + 6 + 12 + 4 = 40 However, upon reviewing the combinations, it seems there was a miscalculation in the initial translation regarding the subcase with zero in a position other than the units place. The correct calculation for two even digits, including zero, without zero being in the units place should be as follows: - **Zero not in the units place**: Choose the position for zero and the hundred's digit from the 2 non-zero even digits in C_{2}^{1} ways, then choose the remaining odd digit in C_{3}^{1} ways. This results in C_{2}^{1} times C_{3}^{1} = 2 times 3 = 6. However, since zero cannot be in the units place, if zero is in the hundred's place, we can only place the other even number in the tens place and have 3 choices for the units place. This gives us 1 times C_{3}^{1} = 3. Thus, the revised correct total of combinations is: 18 + 3 + 12 + 4 = boxed{37}
question:Calculate sqrt{50y} cdot sqrt{5y} cdot sqrt{45y} . Express your answer in simplest radical form in terms of y.
answer:The expression given is sqrt{50y} cdot sqrt{5y} cdot sqrt{45y}. 1. **Combine and simplify the expression**: Combine all the terms under a single radical: [ sqrt{50y} cdot sqrt{5y} cdot sqrt{45y} = sqrt{(50y)(5y)(45y)} ] 2. **Calculate the product inside the radical**: Multiply the numbers and the variable terms: [ (50y)(5y)(45y) = 50 cdot 5 cdot 45 cdot y^3 = 11250y^3 ] 3. **Factorize and simplify**: - Prime factorization of 11250: (11250 = 2 cdot 5^3 cdot 3^2) - This factorization can be rewritten in terms of square roots: [ sqrt{11250y^3} = sqrt{2 cdot 5^3 cdot 3^2 cdot y^3} ] - Recognize perfect squares and simplify: [ sqrt{2 cdot (5^2 cdot 3^2 cdot y^2) cdot 5 cdot y} = 15y sqrt{10y} ] 4. **Final simplification**: The expression simplifies to: [ boxed{15y sqrt{10y}} ]
