The mean number of students per classroom, y, at Central High School can be estimated using the equation y=0.8636x+27.227.  where x represents the number of years since 2004 and x ≤ 10. Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the number 0.8636 in the context of this problem?

Select the Correct Answer:
The estimated mean number of students per classroom in 2004
The estimated mean number of students per classroom in 2014
The estimated yearly decrease in the mean number of students per classroom

3- Question

If 2/(a-1)=4/y where y ≠1, what is y in terms of

Select the Correct Answer:
y=2a-2
y=2a-4
y=2a-1/2
y=(1/2)a+1

if y=x^3 +2x+5 and z= x^2 + 7x+1, what is 2y+z in terms of x?

2x^3 + x^2 + 11x +11

Substituting the expressions equivalent to y and z into 2y +z results in the expression

2(x^3 +2x +5) +x^2+ 7x +1. The student must apply the distributive property to multiply

x^3 +2x +5 by 2

and then combine the like terms in the expression.

where a>0 and x>0, which of the following equations gives a in terms of x?

where a>0 and x>0, which of the following equations gives a in terms of x?

There are multiple ways to approach this problem, but all require an understanding of the properties of exponents. The student may rewrite the equation as 1/(a^0.5)=x

and then proceed to solve for a first by squaring both sides, which gives 

(1/a)=x^2 and then multiplying both sides by a to find  1=a(x^2).Finally, dividing both sides by x^2 isolates the desired variable.

Based on the system of equations above, what is the value of the product xy?

Based on the system of equations above, what is the value of the product xy?

There are several solution methods possible, but all involve persevering in solving for the two variables and calculating the product. For example, combining like terms in the first equation yields 4x - 4y = 7 and then multiplying that by 2 gives 8x -8y-14. When this transformed equation is added to the second given equation, the y-terms are eliminated, leaving an equation in just one variable:

9x = 18 ,or x =2.

Substituting 2 for x in the second equation (one could use either to solve) yields

2+8y =4 , which gives y =1 /4. Finally, the product xy is 2 * 1/4 =1/2.

if 0.5x+(1/3)y=4, what is the value of 3x+2y?

24

A student may find the solution to this problem by noticing the structure of the given equation and seeing that multiplying both sides of the equation 0.5x +(1/3)y =4 by 6 to clear fractions from the equation yields 3x +2 y =24.

The equation of a circle in the xy-plane is shown above. What is the diameter of the circle?

The equation of a circle in the xy-plane is shown above. What is the diameter of the circle?

26

Completing the square yields the equation (x-3)^2 +(y+4)^2 = 169.

the standard form of an equation of the circle. Understanding this form results in the equation r^2=169, which when solved for r gives the value of the radius as 13. The diameter is twice the value of the radius; therefore, the diameter is 26.
