A certain reality TV show lost a total of 9,000 viewers over the past 3 months. It lost the same number of viewers each month. The following equation describes this situation. −9,000÷3= −3,000 What does −3,000 tell us?
Choice a: There are 3,000 fewer people watching the show compared to three months ago.
Choice b: The total change in the number of people watching the show is −3,000.
Choice c: none of the above

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is C as the other answers are wrong.

A is wrong because the views are 9,000 views lower than 3 months ago not 3,000. -3000 represents how many views are lost a month.

B is wrong as that’s not the total change. Again, the total change is -9,000; -3000 is just the monthly change.

Therefore, it is C.

Choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

-9,000/3 solves the variable for how many viewers are lost each month. Therefore 3,000 viewers are lost each month. This is what -3,000 is reffering to.

However choice b says that the TOTAL CHANGE IS -3000, which is not correct.

So the answer is C

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
