Answer:

<em>There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the variables:

L = number of ladies in the conference

G = number of gentlemen in the conference

We know 340 people participated in the conference, thus:

L + G = 340 [1]

We are also given the ratio of ladies and gentleman as 3:2, thus:

L/G = 3/2

Cross-multiplying:

2L = 3G [2]

From [1]:

L = 340 - G

Substituting in [2]:

2(340 - G) = 3G

Operating:

680 - 2G = 3G

5G = 680

G = 680/5 = 136

G = 136

L = 340 - 136 = 204

L = 204

There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference

A plane leave an airport and flies due north. (more in photo)

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

104 miles (nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pythagorean theorem which is: c² = a² + b². Where,

c = distance between the two planes = ?

a = distance of the first plane from the airport = 80 - 1 = 79 miles

b = distance of the second plane from the airport = 68 - 1 = 67 miles

c² = 79² + 67²

c² = 10,730

c = √10,730

c = 103.585713

c = 104 miles (nearest whole number)

Jay and Ted observed two points, P and Q, on a number line.

kobusy [5.1K]

Start at 0 and move to point P. To do this, we simply move left 1/8 of a unit. Similarly, we move 1/8 of a unit to go from 0 to point Q

So the distance from P to 0 is the same as the distance from Q to 0.

Therefore, the absolute values are the same

Answer: Choice A) Jay is correct because each point is 1/8 a unit away from 0

Which of the following quadratic regression equations best fits the data shown below?

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this, you have to know how to use your calculator's regression equation function.

First enter in the data. Hit "stat" then 1:Edit and enter all the x values into L1. After each value, hit enter. When you're done with the x list, arrow over to L2 and enter in all the y-values. If there are already values there you need to clear, arrow up to highlight L1, hit "clear", then "enter" and the values will disappear. Do that for both lists if you need to.

After the data is listed in L1 and L2, hit "stat" again and arrow over to "Calc". Hit 5:QuadReg. If you have a TI 83, your equation will be there for you. If you have a TI 84, you'll need to arrow down to "calculate" to get the equation. Regardless, the equation is

$y=3.48x^2+1.22x+3.44$ , the last choice in your options.
