Using linear function concepts, it is found that the correct statements are given by:
- The number of biology degrees increases by about 2,414 each year after 2000.
- About 73,000 students graduated with degrees in psychology in 2000.
- In 2000, more students graduated with psychology degrees than biology degrees.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value.
In this problem, the number of college seniors who graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology, in t years after 2000, is modeled by:
P(t) = 2,376t + 73,219.
For biology, the amount is given by:
B(t) = 2,414t + 56,545.
Then, the true statements are given by:
- The number of biology degrees increases by about 2,414 each year after 2000.
- About 73,000 students graduated with degrees in psychology in 2000.
- In 2000, more students graduated with psychology degrees than biology degrees.

Mato's rectangular prism's volume is
40
To find the volume of a Rectangular Prism it's:
Volume= Length x Width x Height
Draw a rectangular prism with the volume of 40.
Then just explain by showing how to solve for your prism's volume and then Mato's.
If you need anything else just ask!
It is normally smart to write out a diagram of some sort to help you visualize the situation. I made one for this situation, although it might now suit you as well as it would me.
The idea behind this problem is to make you understand rates. Rates being the same thing as a slope. If you have learned about that already then that will help a lot, but if you haven't then that's fine.
So we have 4.8m and we traveled at a speed of 3 meters per 1 minute. A rate you are probably pretty familiar with is mph. Which is Miles per Hour. Or if you don't live in the U.S. Kmph. Which is Kilometers per Hour.
What you do to solve these type of problems is you take the given value and you use the rate to get the value you want.
The easiest way to do this is to make sure the signs (Meters) "cancel" out.
4.8m * (1min / 3m)
To cancel something out you need to have it over itself. Here are a few examples:
3/3 = 1
4/4 = 1
100,000/100,000 = 1
598/598 = 1
In the case of units, such as meters. They go *poof* from the problem.
So we have this problem:
(4.8m*1 minute) / 3m = ? minutes
4.8/3 = 1.6
If you want the answer in fractional form... here is how you do it: (I won't explain it because you most likely won't need to do this, but if you want to know how to do it then just ask)
4(8/10)
4(4/5)
(24/5)/3
(24/5) * (1/3)
24/15
8/5 is our final fractional answer!
