Answer: there are 3 geese in the pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ducks in the pond.

Let y represent the number of geese in the pond.

There are 19 birds in a pond, all which are ducks or geese. This means that

x + y = 19 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

If the number of ducks in the pond is 1 more than twice the number of geese in the pond, it means that

x = 2y + 1

Substituting x = 2y + 1 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + 1 + y = 19

3y = 19 - 1 = 18

y = 18/3 = 6

x = 2y + 1 = 2 × 6 + 1

x = 13

Graph the function represented in the table on the coordinate plane.
Umnica [9.8K]
First find out the function for the given table.
Find the slope.
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-(-3)) / (-1-(-2))
m=(-1+3) / (-1+2)
m=2/1
m=2
Now equation of line:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-3)=2(x-(-2))
y+3=2(x+2)
y+3=2x+4
y=2x+1
Now plot these points on the graph, we get the attached graph.

Q9) There are 4,000 students attending a local community college and the number of students is increasing by 5% each year. How m
a_sh-v [17]

Answer: 4,862 students will attend the college in the next four years

Step-by-step explanation: If the college starts out with 4,000 students you need to find 5% of 4,000. To do this you would multiply 4,000 by 0.05, you should get 200. So 5% of 4,000 is 200 so the next year there will be 200 more students then last year meaning the next year will have 4,200 student. So now you'll repeat the same step multiply the number of students (now 4,200) by 0.05, then add the answer to the number of students from the previous year. So year two is:

4,200x0.05=210

4,200+210=4,410

repeat these steps till you have four years worth.
