Answer:
45 horseshoe crabs and 45 sea stars
Step-by-step explanation:
The aquarium initially contained x crabs and x sea stars.
"After 15 horseshoe crabs and 27 sea stars are removed the ratio of horseshoe crabs to sea stars is 5:3"
(x-15):(x-27) = 5:3
(x-15)/(x-27) = 5/3
3(x-15) = 5(x-27)
3x-45 = 5x-135
90 = 2x
x = 45
The correlation coefficient is -0.87; strong correlation
<h3>How to determine the correlation coefficient?</h3>
The given parameters are:
x = Time spent working out
y = lbs Overweight
Next, we enter the table of values in a graphing tool.
From the graphing tool, we have the following summary:
<u>X Values</u>
- ∑ = 27.1
- Mean = 2.71
- ∑(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 22.569
<u>Y Values</u>
- ∑ = 89
- Mean = 8.9
- ∑(Y - My)2 = SSy = 778.9
<u>X and Y Combined</u>
- N = 10
- ∑(X - Mx)(Y - My) = -114.19
<u>R Calculation</u>
r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))
r = -114.19 / √((22.569)(778.9))
r = -0.8613
Approximate
r = -0.87
This means that the correlation coefficient is -0.87
Also, the correlation coefficient is a strong correlation, because it is closer to -1 than it is to 0

Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of money, in dollars, in a savings account after x years is given by 
This above equation represents that $10000 becomes M(x) after x years at a rate of interest 3% compounded in each year.
Therefore, the value in the expression 1.03 represents that there is a 3 percent increase in the savings account each year.
So, the correct option is B. (Answer)
By looking at the graph and seeing which point crosses the y axis. This point will always have an x coordinate of zero.
