Darla is training for a marathon. She starts out running 1.5 miles and plans to add additional miles each week. Below is a scree
n shot from her fitness tracker app on her phone.
Part a: assuming that this pattern of running continues for darla, write an equation that could be used to find the number of miles she runs for any number of weeks.
Part b: to complete a marathon, you must run 26.2 miles. Using the table and/or equation, will darla be able to complete a marathon after 14 weeks of training?

Let's carry this math sentence over to its natural, "shapey" element. We're going to look at each term not as an ordinary number, but as <em>the area of some shape</em>.
x² (read as "x <em>squared"</em>) can be seen as the area of a square with side lengths of x. 2x can similarly be seen as the area of a <em>rectangle </em>with a length of x and a width of 2. (Picture 1)
What's our question actually asking, though? Something about <em>perfect squares</em>. More specifically, we're looking for something to add on that'll <em>make this thing a perfect square</em>. We're trying to find a missing piece we can slot in to make a square, in other words. Problem is, our shapes don't look much like a square if we put them together right now. We need to do a little cutting and gluing first.
First, we're gonna cut the 2x rectangle lengthwise, getting two rectangles with an area of x, a length of 1, and a width of x. Next, we're going to attach them to the x² square, creating this shape that looks, strangely, like a square with a little bit missing from it (picture 2). What we're trying to do is <em>complete this square, </em>to find the area of that little missing chunk.
As it turns out, we have all the information we need for this. Notice that, using the lengths of the x rectangles, we can find that the square's dimensions are 1 x 1, which means that its area is 1 x 1 = 1.
If we tack this new area on to our original expression, we've "completed the square!" We now have a perfect square with side lengths of (x + 1) and an area of (x + 1)² (picture 3).
So, our final expression is x² + 2x + 1, and the missing constant - the area of the "missing square" we had to find to complete our larger one - is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
As we know that ,
Mean = sum of the terms/ numbers of terms
But here grouped data is given so , we use the formula
Mean=∑[f. m]/ ∑f
where f is frequency and m is mid point of each height ,
Now first we have to find the mid point of each interval, where
midpoint of each interval = (lower boundary + upper boundary)/2
m1=(150+154)/2 = 152
m2=(155+159)/2= 157,now found other by same formula, for each interval
m3= 162
m4= 167
m5=172 Now we find the midpoint of each interval ,so now
∑[f. m]=f1*m1+f2*m2+f3*m3+f4*m4+f5*m5
now putting the values of each frequency for given interval and midpoint of each interval we will get,
∑[f. m]=456+942+1296+167*x+344 = 167*x+3038
Now find,
∑f=f1+f2+f3+f4+f5
∑f=19+x
Now we have,
∑[f. m]=167*x+3038
∑f=19+x
also given mean height=161.6 cm
putt these values in above equation we get,
161.6=
now solve this ,
161.6(19+x)=167*x+3038
3070.4+161.6*x=167*x+3038
3070.4-3038=167*x-161.6*x
32.4=5.4*x
x=32.4/5.4
