Chapter 6.3, Problem 36MS
Here we celebrate the power of algebra as a powerful way of finding unknown quantities by naming them, of expressing infinitely many relationships and connect ions clearly and succinctly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.
More puzzling. Three of your friends tell you they’ve seen a graph chalked in front of the math building. Leonhard says the graph is planar, with no loops or multiple edges. Kazmir says the graph has 50 vertices. Kenneth says the graph has 150 edges. If you know that Leonhard and Kazmir are correct, what’s your reaction to Kenneth? If you know Leonhard and Kenneth are correct, what’s your rcaction to Kazmir?

- Question 8 Read the problem carefully and use UPS Check to solve the problem. Show your mathematical thinking and record your final solution. A new concert venue just opened in downtown Atlanta and they are in the process of deciding how many tickets they can sell for each show. The venue has three levels, two general admission levels that only have standing room, and one level with 180 seats. The first level of standing room is a square with one side measuring 75'. The second level, also standing room, is a rectangle measuring 130' by 60' ft. The third level has 180 seats. The Fire Marshall comes in and tells the venue that they must use the ratio 1 person occupies 3 square feet but they can add ten more people per exit (the venue has 4 exits).

A study is carried out to analyze whether the type of painting, among three types available, affects the hardness of a certain type of enamel. The firing of the parts is done in an oven with four trays, one above another, and with 15 parts on each. Since it can be assumed that the tray might have an influence on the result, because of its position in the oven, a blocked design is used putting five parts of each type of painting on each tray. The following hardness measures are obtained: Photo Question-Does the type of painting and the tray on which the parts are placed affect the mean hardness of the enamel paint?
