Answer:
C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Population density is the ratio of population to area. Its units are persons per square mile. Here, you're being asked to compare the population densities of several countries to the average population density in several US states.

<h3>average</h3>
The idea of "average population density of the 10 states listed" is somewhat ambiguous. It could mean either of (a) the ratio of the total of the states' population to the total of their land area, or (b) the average of the population densities of the states. (In the attached, we computed both, but the answer remains the same using either number.)
When there are numerous identical calculations to be performed, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet do them. The attached spreadsheet shows the population densities for the 10 states and 5 countries listed.
Depending on how you define it, the average population density of the 10 states is about 10.5 or about 15.7 people per square mile. (15.7 is the average of the density numbers, found using the spreadsheet AVERAGE function.)
__
<h3>countries</h3>
The 5 countries have population densities ranging from about 7.7 to 236 people per square mile. Two of the countries have density below 10.5, so are the answers to the question asked.
Canada (C) and Iceland (D) have population density below the US state average.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a Ti-84 series calculator, press "stat" then "Edit..." and then fill in the data table values for x and y in two lists. Then press "2nd" and "mode" to quit. Now press "stat" again and right arrow over to "calc" and press down until you find "ExpReg" and set the "Xlist" and "Ylist" that you used and you will get C as the answer. Another way to do this is to manually substitute values into all 4 equations, which is boring.
If I were you, I would make the starting point (3,-6). From there, you will want to use the slope of -1/2 (go down 1 unit and to the right 2 units and draw a point)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let he speed of the boat on the lake is x.
<u>Considering the speed of the current it will take him:</u>
- 22.5/(x + 6) + 22.5/(x - 6) = 9
- 2.5 / (x + 6) + 2.5 / (x - 6) = 1
- 2.5(x - 6 + x + 6) = (x + 6)(x - 6)
- 2.5*2x = x² - 36
- x² - 5x - 36 = 0
- x = (5 ± √(5² + 4*36))/2 = (5 ± 13) / 2
- x = (5 + 13)/2 = 9 mph (negative root is discarded as the speed should be positive)
