Answer:
2002 pounds
Explanation:
To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.
This equation can be founded using the following

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:

Now, we can solve for y

Then, we can calculate the weight of an airplane with 17 gallons of fuel replacing x = 17 on the equation above
y = 6x + 1900
y = 6(17) + 1900
y = 102 + 1900
y = 2002
Therefore, the answer is 2002 pounds
Answer: graph E.
A geometric sequence can be written as:

where:
a₁ = first term = 4
r = ratio = 0.5
Substituting the numbers, we have:

or else

This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).
In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.
Root of 49
Solutions are 7 and -7
We know that 7 is the square root of 49.
A negative number multiplied by itself gives positive
So -7 is also a square root of 49
