Answer:

≈ 197 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by writing what we know.

150 students sampled

68 prefer soccer

59 prefer basketball

23 prefer swimming

Part A

If 59 students prefer basketball out of the 150 students sampled then we divide 59/150 in order to get the percentage of students that prefer basketball.

59/150 ≈ 39.33%       Remember this is only a sample of the students so it is approximate.

Now that we have the percentage, we can multiply it by the entire student body to get an approximate number of all students that prefer basketball.

39.33% = .3933

.3933 * 500 = 196.66  ≈ 197 students   (because we can't have a partial student we round up)

Find the domain and range of the function graphed in the picture.
algol [13]

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.

Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that x \le 4

To write this in interval notation, we would write (-\infty, 4] This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.

The range is the set of y values such that y \ge 0

In interval notation, it would be written as [0, \infty) This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity

note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity

Zoe is solving the equation 3x – 4 = –10 for x. She used the addition property of equality to isolate the variable term as shown
kherson [118]
3x-4 = -10

3x-4 +4 = -10 +4

3x = -6

then you can divide it :

x = -6 : 3

x= -2

If 14x = ^13√14, what value of x makes this equation true?
Andrews [41]

The value of x is 1/13 (4th choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

{a}^{ \frac{m}{n} }  =  \sqrt[n]{ {a}^{m} }

If 14^x = ¹³√14, what value of <em>x </em>makes this equation true?

\sqrt[13]{14}  =  {14}^{x}  \\  \sqrt[13]{14}  =  {14}^{ \frac{1}{13} }

So, the value of <em>x</em> is 1/13 (4th choice)

<em>Hope</em><em> </em><em>it </em><em>helpful </em><em>and </em><em>useful </em><em>:</em><em>)</em>

5/10 =   /6  is 5/10 and 3/6 equivalent fraction.  if so, please explain
Sonja [21]
\frac{5}{10}= \frac{1\cdot5}{2\cdot5}  = \frac{1}{2} \ \ \ and\ \ \  \frac{3}{6}= \frac{1\cdot3}{2\cdot3}  = \frac{1}{2} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \  \frac{5}{10}=\frac{3}{6}
