In 2000, 7689 weekly papers = 94% of number of weekly papers in 1960
Let weekly papers in 1960 be x.
7689 = 94% of x
7689 = (94/100)*x
7689 * 100/94 = x
8179.787 ≈ x
x ≈ 8179.787
Number of weekly newspapers in 1960 rounded to the nearest whole number = 8180
Step-by-step explanation:
It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
The billiard balls without replacement.
Let's say there are 10 billiard balls 5 red and 5 blue.
If you pick a blue ball on the first pick you had a 5/10 chance
Now your chances of getting a red are only 5/9.
What happened on the first pick affects what happens on the second (making it dependent)
