Suppose there are 1,000 total sales representatives in the Midwest and Northeast regions, with 500 sales reps in each region. Describe the best way for the sales director to include 200 sales representatives, with an equal number from each region and an equal number in each group, while yielding valid conclusions in the study.

Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (select all that apply.) f(x) = 1 x + 1 a = −1 f(−1) is undefined. lim x→−1+ f(x) and lim x→−1− f(x) exist, but are not equal. lim x→−1 f(x) does not exist. f(−1) and lim x→−1 f(x) exist, but are not equal. none of the above

Which of the following is not a subset of {1,2,3}?

Arrange the steps to solve this system of linear equations in the correct sequence. x + y = -2 2x – 3y = -9 tiles subtract 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) from 2x – 3y = -9 (given) to solve for x. substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 1. the solution for the system of equations is (-3, 1). x = -15 the solution for the system of equations is (-15, 13). add 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) to 2x – 3y = -9 (given), and solve for x. x = -3 substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 13. multiply the first equation by 3: 3(x + y) = 3(-2) 3x + 3y = -6.
