Concept explainers
In Exercises 25-32, we use the Hamilton method to do the apportionment.
The new states paradox.Redo Exercise 29, but now use the populations given below. Also assume that the original commission has 56 members. Assume that A, B, and C are the original states and D is the new state.
State | Population (thousands) |
A | 8,700 |
B | 4,300 |
C | 3,200 |
D | 6,500 |
29.The new states paradox.Two states A and B have formed a 100-member commission to explore ways in which they can work jointly to improve the business climate in their states. The members will be apportioned to the commission according to the populations of the two states. After seeing the success of the commission, a third state asks to join and appoint members to the commission. States A and B agree and will allow state C to add as many members to the commission as they would deserve now using the current standard divisor. The populations of the three states are given below. Does this example illustrates the new states paradox? Explain.
State | Population (thousands) |
A | 2,000 |
B | 7,770 |
C | 600 |

- M = log The formula determines the magnitude of an earthquake, where / is the intensity of the earthquake and S is the intensity of a "standard earthquake." How many times stronger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6? Show your work.arrow_forwardNow consider equations of the form ×-a=v = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1. (f) Create an equation of this form that has 7 as a solution and an extraneous solution. Give the extraneous solution. (g) What must be true about the value of bx + c to ensure that there is a real number solution to the equation? Explain.arrow_forwardThe equation ×+ 2 = √3x+10 is of the form ×+ a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b > 1. Using this equation as a model, create your own equation that has extraneous solutions. (d) Using trial and error with numbers for a, b, and c, create an equation of the form x + a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1 such that 7 is a solution and there is an extraneous solution. (Hint: Substitute 7 for x, and choose a value for a. Then square both sides so you can choose a, b, and c that will make the equation true.) (e) Solve the equation you created in Part 2a.arrow_forward
