Using proportions, it is found that Mrs. Wood should expect 1,898 books out of the 36,500 to have major damage.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

For this problem, the proportion of books with major damage is:

43/(716 + 68 + 43) = 0.051995.

Hence, out of 36,500 books, the expected amount of books with major damage is:

0.051995 x 36,500 = 1898.

ANSWER ASAP PLS 20 POINTS! Which graph represents the piecewise defined function? y= {3 if x&lt;-2 0 if x=1 -1 if x&gt;1
Otrada [13]

Answer:

It is the third option. (the one which has a black point at X=1, Y=1)

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity what you should do is, you should satisfy the second condition that is, y=0 if x=1.

Here only the third option is satisfying this condition.

Whenever there is is a white circle or a white point it means that the point does not satisfy the condition and the the function is not defined at that point. And the black point means that the circle is defined at that point and satisfies the condition.

Henceforth, the correct answer is the third option.

Joey wants to build a rectangular garden. He plans to use a side of a river for one side of the garden, he will not place fencin
NikAS [45]

We let x and y be the measures of the sides of the rectangular garden. The perimeter subtracted with the other side should be equal to 

                                                   2x + y = 92

The value of y in terms of x is equal to,

                                            y = 92 – 2x

The area is the product of the two sides,

                                                                        A = xy

Substituting,

                                                            A = x (92 – 2x) = 92x – 2x2

Solving for the derivative and equating to zero,

                                                            0 = 92 – 4x  ; x = 23

Therefore, the area of the garden is,

<span>                                                            A = 23(92 – 2(23)) = 1058 yard<span>2</span></span>
