To answer this item, we let x be the first positive integer. Then, the second would be x+1. Their reciprocals would be 1/x and 1/(x+1). Then, the equation that would best represent the scenario above is,
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/72
Solving the equation above,
((x+1) + x) / (x)(x+1) = 17/72
If we take the numerators of both sides of the equation,
(x+1) + x = 17
The value of x from the equation is 8 and x+1 would be 9. Thus, the answer would be 8 and 9.
First you need to form a worthy equation using slope-intercept (y=mx+b). Do that by counting the slope and finding the y-intercept. Then you have to choose between < or > to make it more accurate. In order to do so, you would have to pick a point with a point x and y and see wether or not I’m the equation is true when you put it in the blanks. If it’s true then you would shade whichever region the point is. If it’s false then shade the opposite region.
Good luck!!!!!!! :)
Answer:
Part 1: It is not a valid conclusion to say that track and field sports are more popular than soccer based on the survey. The survey was taken at a track and field event so the people that were surveyed are probably biased.
Part 2: A better way of determining which sport is more popular is by counting how many people show up to each event and comparing the results.
