Answer:

a)

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

b)

2 new counselors

Step-by-step explanation:

How many counselors should be assigned to each school using Hamilton's method?

Number of students

Lowell: 3584  

Fairview: 6816

Total number of students: 10400

Divisor D = (Total number of students)/(number of counselors)= 10400/13 = 800

<u>Temporal assignment</u>

3584/800 = 4 + 0.48 ==> 4 counselors for Lowell

6816/800 = 8 + 0.52 ==> 8 counselors for Fairview

There is one counselor left. According to Hamilton's method she should be assigned to the school with the largest remainder, that is Fairview.

<u>Final assignment</u>

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

The next year, a new school is opened, with 1824 students. Using the divisor from above, determine how many additional counselors should be hired for the new school

1824/800 = 2 + 0.28

<em>Two new counselors should be hired.</em>

Describe the continuity of the graphed function. Select all that apply.
victus00 [196]

Using continuity concepts, it is found that the correct options are:

  • The function is continuous at x = -4.
  • The function has an infinite discontinuity at x = -1.

-----------------------------

A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if:

\lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x) = f(a)

-----------------------------

  • At x = -4, there are no changes in the definition of the function, thus, it is continuous.
  • At x = -1, we have that:

\lim_{x \rightarrow -1^-} f(x) = 0

\lim_{x \rightarrow -1^+} f(x) = f(1) = 1

  • A different definition depending on the which side of -1 the function is, thus, it is a jump discontinuity.

What is a8 for the geometric sequence 6,561;−2,187;729;−243;…6,561;−2,187;729;−243;….
VMariaS [17]
Consider a geometric sequence (u_n)

let u_1=a and the common ratio be r, then the sequence is constructed as follows:

u_1, u_2, u_3..... = a, ar, a r^{2}, a r^{3}, ...

we can observe that each term of the sequence is its previous term * r.


In the given sequence, to find the common ratio we divide 6,561 by −2,187 and get -3. This means that r= -\frac{1}{3}

Let the first term u_1=a=6,561, 

then the eighth term is  

u_8=a* r^{7}= 6,561 (- \frac{1}{3} )^{7}= -6,561*( \frac{1}{3} )^{7}= \frac{-6,561}{2187} =-3
