Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

A video game company surveys a random sample of 225 of its best customer and finds that the average gamer spends $406 a year on
Burka [1]
The second survey is more believable because there is randomness in the second rather than the first survey. Since the second company surveyed in all interest levels while the first company only surveyed their best customers. Random sampling like what the second company did helps produce representative samples by removing voluntary response bias and undercover age bias.

Math Help!!! How many x-intercepts does the graph of the function have?
dalvyx [7]
It can have however many x intercepts it wants, 

<span>BUT, to be a function it must pass the vertical line test. </span>
<span>this means you have to look at the graph and see if a vertical line drawn anywhere hits the graph more than once. </span>
<span>if it hits it more than once, it is NOT a function. 
</span>
An example is a polynomial function to the infinite degree. That is 
f(x) = lim (n --> infinity) [ x^n] 
but only 1 y intercept (vertical line test remember)
