Answer:
a) ⅖+⅓ = 6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15
b) 5/9 - 1/2 = 10/18 - 9/18 = 1/18
Answer: 19/20
Step-by-step explanation:
7/10 turns into 14/20
1/4 turns into 5/20
14/20 + 5/20
14 + 5 over 20
= 19/20
19/20 is in simplest form.
Lets use 1 to solve this problem because it is easiest to show.
Multiply 1 by 1.3 for a 30% increase (1*1.3=1.3).
Then multiply 1.3 by .7 for a 30% decrease. (1.3*.7=.91)
Therefore the page had a 9% reduction from its original size or is 91% of its original size.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use process of elimination
D is incorrect because the roots are 3 and -4 and there are no negative roots visible
B is wrong because the roots -3 and -6 are both negative
You can factor A into (x-2)(x-3) and the roots are 2 and 3 but the roots on the graph look closer to 3 and 6
For C it can be factored as (x-6)(x-3) so the roots are 3 and 6 which look accurate
The "line of best fit" is the result of a linear regression computation. If you have done that, you already know its equation.
If you have "eye-balled" the line into place, then you have to figure out its equation from points you read on the graph. We take a couple of the points to be ... (2001, 1700) and (2010, 2450)
The line through these points will have the equation
... y = (2450 -1700)/(2010 -2001)(x -2001) +1700
... y = (250/3)(x -2001) +1700
Putting x=2013 into this equation, we get ...
... y = (250/3)(2013 -2001) +1700
... = (250/3)(12) +1700
... y = 2700
The population is predicted to be 2700 in 2013.
_____
Had you drawn your graph with a vertical grid line at 2013, you could have read the number from the graph.
