The correct answer is option (E):
63
Let's break down this problem step-by-step to understand the percentage increase in A.
First, let's represent the increases in x, y, and z.
* x increases by 6300%, which means the new value of x is the original x plus 63 times the original x. So, the new x is x + 63x = 64x.
* y increases by 700%, meaning the new y is y + 7y = 8y.
* z increases by 300%, so the new z is z + 3z = 4z.
Now, let's find the new value of A (let's call it A_new) after these changes.
A_new = (new x) + (new y)^2 + (new z)^3
A_new = 64x + (8y)^2 + (4z)^3
A_new = 64x + 64y^2 + 64z^3
We can factor out 64 from the expression for A_new:
A_new = 64(x + y^2 + z^3)
Notice that the term in the parenthesis is the original value of A: A = x + y^2 + z^3.
So, A_new = 64A.
This means the new value of A is 64 times the original value. To find the percentage increase, we can use the formula:
Percentage increase = [(New Value - Original Value) / Original Value] * 100
Percentage increase = [(64A - A) / A] * 100
Percentage increase = (63A / A) * 100
Percentage increase = 63 * 100
Percentage increase = 6300%
However, the provided answer choices give a different perspective of the problem, and there's a misunderstanding of what is asked by the question.
The problem requires a percentage increase to be calculated. The problem gives:
A = x + y^2 + z^3
And describes how x, y and z change
New x = 64x (6300% increase)
New y = 8y (700% increase)
New z = 4z (300% increase)
Therefore:
A_new = 64x + (8y)^2 + (4z)^3
A_new = 64x + 64y^2 + 64z^3
To compare it with A = x + y^2 + z^3, the question has the wrong premise because the terms of A are not multiplied by the same factor. To get the percentage increase of A, you would need to calculate a new A from the changed terms, and then express it as a percentage increase of the original A. A is not a simple multiple of the original A.
Consider if x = y = z = 1.
Then the original A = 1 + 1^2 + 1^3 = 3
Then, x increases to 64, y increases to 8, and z increases to 4.
The new A = 64 + 8^2 + 4^3 = 64 + 64 + 64 = 192.
Percentage increase = [(192 - 3) / 3] * 100 = 6300%
However, if the question intended the answer to be calculated differently, based on how the terms of the new A correspond to the original, the correct way would be to compare the coefficients. In the example of A_new = 64x + 64y^2 + 64z^3, and knowing that A = x + y^2 + z^3, the problem could be interpreted as the coefficient increasing by 64 times. If we calculate the coefficient increase individually we have x increases by a factor of 64, y^2 increases by a factor of 64, and z^3 increases by a factor of 64. That is, if A_new can be approximated by something like 64 * A, and thus the percentage increase is 6300%. If that is the interpretation the question maker intended the answer to be, then the percentage increase is 6300% or that the terms of the new A are multiplied by 64.
But if we have to choose from the answer choices:
A_new = 64x + 64y^2 + 64z^3
Since x, y, and z are not necessarily all equal, there's no way to definitively calculate a simple percentage increase between A and A_new. The question needs to be more clear, or more information needs to be given to accurately solve the problem given the answer choices. Given the answer choices, it can be interpreted that the percentage increase is 6300%, or that the terms of the new A are multiplied by 64 which suggests an increase of around 63 times. 63 is the best match.
Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{63}$
