Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year

Ratio of the number of middle school students to number of high school students = 1 : 8

Total ratio = 9

Middle school = 1

High school = 8

Total students in the band = x

Middle school = 1/9x

High school = 8/9x

Total = 1/9x + 8/9x

This year

Ratio of the number of middle school students to number of high school students = 2 : 7

Total ratio = 9

Middle school = 2

High school = 7

Total students = x

Middle school = 2/9x

High school = 7/9x

Total = 2/9x + 7/9x

If there are 18 middle school students in the band this year

2/9x = 18

x = 18÷2/9

= 18 × 9/2

= 81

x = 81

Last year:

1/9x + 8/9x

= 1/9 * 81 + 8/9 * 81

= 9 + 72

= 81

This year

2/9x + 7/9x

2/9*81 + 7/9*81

= 18 + 63

=81

Change in middle school =this year - last year

= 18 - 9

= 9 (increase)

Change in high school = this year - last year

= 63 - 72

= -9 (decrease)

Find the domain of the rational function 9x/(x+5)(x+3)
xenn [34]

Answer:

the domain is : D = ]-∞ , -5[ U ]-5 , -3[ U ]-3 , +∞[

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

f(x) = 9x/(x+5)(x+3)

f exist for : (x+5)(x+3) ≠ 0

(x+5)(x+3)=0

x+5=0 or x+3=0  means : x= - 5 or x= -3

the domain is : D = ]-∞ , -5[ U ]-5 , -3[ U ]-3 , +∞[

For a specific species of fish in a pond, a wildlife biologist wants to build a regression equation to predict the weight of a f
sashaice [31]

Answer: First of all, we will add the options.

A. Yes, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

B. Yes, because the regression equation is based on a random sample.

C. Yes, because the association between length and weight is positive.

D. No, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

E. No, because there may not be any 3-inch fish of this species in the pond.

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation: It would not be appropriate to use the model to predict the weight of species that is 3 inches long because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

As we can see from the question, the model only accounts for species that are within the range of 0.75 to 1.35 inches in length, and species smaller or larger than that length have not been taken into consideration. Therefore the model can not be used to predict the weights of fishes not with the range accounted for.
