Explanation A focus of 33 people for ABC TV were asked to rank the government spending priorities of education ( E ) , military spending ( M ) , health care ( H ) , immigration ( I ) , and lowering taxes ( T ) . The outcomes for the preferences is as below. ( EIHTM ) ( MIEHT ) ( HMETI ) ( TMEIH ) 15 6 6 6 . In Borda count method, each voter ranks the candidates. Each last-place candidate is given 1 point, each next-to-last candidate is given 2 points, and so on. The points for each candidate are added, and the candidate who has maximum points is declared as the winner. For this election, there are 5 places E , I , H , T and M ; award 5 points for each first place ranking, 4 points for each second place ranking, 3 points for each third place ranking, 2 points for each fourth place ranking and 1 point for each last place ranking. Then, summarize the voter’s rankings in the table form as follows: Number of Priorities Voters E I H T M 15 5 4 3 2 1 6 3 4 2 1 5 6 3 1 5 2 4 6 3 2 1 5 4 Next, multiply each point of the places by its corresponding number of voters. Then, add all points of each place. The table is in the form as follows: Number of Priorities Voters E I H T M 15 75 60 45 30 15 6 18 24 12 6 30 6 18 6 30 12 24 6 18 12 6 30 24 Total 129 102 93 78 93 The priority E has maximum points

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Coast Guard Patrol Search Mission The pilot of a Coast Guard patrol aircraft on a search mission had just spotted a disabled fishing trawler and decided to go in for a closer look. Flying in a straight line at a constant altitude of 1000 ft and at a steady speed of 256 ft/s, the aircraft passed directly over the trawler. How fast (in ft/s) was the aircraft receding from the trawler when it was 1400 ft from the trawler? (Round your answer to one decimal places.) 1000 ft 180 × ft/s Need Help? Read It SUBMIT ANSWER
