Answer:
Last equation given in the list of possible answers:
5 ( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to include in the total addition of miles ridden during the week:
a) 1.5 miles to the school
b) 1.5 miles from school back home
c) x miles for the evening ride
so for the miles ridden per day we have: "1.5 +1.5 + x"
Now, since per week she does 5 days like this, then we need to multiply the expression above by 5 in order to total the number of miles she rides weekly (25 miles)
5 ( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25
And we can use this equation to find the amount "x" that Rin rides in the evening.
Answer:
The explicit formula for the given expression is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is
-7, -4, -1, 2, 5
The difference between two consecutive terms is same, therefore the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
The first term of the given AP is -7 and the common difference is

The explicit formula for an AP is

Where, a is first term, d is common difference and n is number of terms.
Substitute a=-7 and d=3 in the above equation.



Therefore the explicit formula for the given expression is
.
Answer:
A) The model exists: f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic model will always exist for 3 given points, provided they are not on a line. In that case, a linear model is appropriate.
Here, the slope between -1 and 0 is positive, and the slope between 0 and 3 is negative. Thus, we know these points are not collinear, and a model must exist.
The model is most easily found using a quadratic regression tool. Such is shown in the attachment. It tells us that ...
f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
