Answer:
a)
Lowell: 4 counselors
Fairview: 9 counselors
b)
2 new counselors
Step-by-step explanation:
How many counselors should be assigned to each school using Hamilton's method?
Number of students
Lowell: 3584
Fairview: 6816
Total number of students: 10400
Divisor D = (Total number of students)/(number of counselors)= 10400/13 = 800
<u>Temporal assignment</u>
3584/800 = 4 + 0.48 ==> 4 counselors for Lowell
6816/800 = 8 + 0.52 ==> 8 counselors for Fairview
There is one counselor left. According to Hamilton's method she should be assigned to the school with the largest remainder, that is Fairview.
<u>Final assignment</u>
Lowell: 4 counselors
Fairview: 9 counselors
The next year, a new school is opened, with 1824 students. Using the divisor from above, determine how many additional counselors should be hired for the new school
1824/800 = 2 + 0.28
<em>Two new counselors should be hired.</em>

1311m
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you didn't provide expression to see which one is equivalent,, I will simply solve the expression you provided. If you need help finding out which expression option is equivalent after I solve this for you,, let me know and I would be more than happy to help you figure it out.
The first step for solving this expression is to calculate the difference between 20 and 21. We can start solving this by keeping the sign of the number with the larger absolute value and subtract the smaller absolute value from it. This will look like the following:
-(21 - 20)
Now subtract the numbers and add it back into the expression.
-1 + 8y - 9y
Next we need to collect the like terms with a y variable by subtracting their coefficients.
(8 - 9)y
Calculate the difference in the parenthesis.
-1y
Remember that when the term has a coefficient of -1,, the number doesn't have to be written but the sign must remain.
-y
Lastly,, add this back into the expression to get your final answer.
-1 - y
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Here is a little tip for this: The unit above cancels the unit below. So in this problem you are asked to convert pounds to ounce. So your equation will look like this.
ounce = 2.93 pounds

Your ratio should involve the conversion factor. So 16 and 1 is involved canceling A and D. Then, Notice that you started with poubls. Then the ratio must have pounds at the bottom to cancel the units leaving ounces.
Yes, a quadratic model does exist and its equation is f(x)=4x^2
