Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day Sunday-Saturday can be approximated by

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37$

Where x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute x= 0

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37$

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 1

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115$

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 2

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181$

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 3

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235$

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 4

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277$

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 5

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307$

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 6

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325$

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Determine whether the given sequence could be geometric, arithmetic, or neither. if possible, identify either the common ratio o

REY [17]

ARITHMETIC CHECK: A sequence is said to be arithmetic if any two consecutive terms differ by the same constant.

So, the test to check if a series is arithmetic is to compute consecutive differences, and see if they all return the same number.

If we subtract the first two terms, we have $2-4 = -2$ . If we subtract the third and second terms, we have $1-2 = -1$ .

These two differences returned two different values, so the series is not arithmetic.

GEOMETRIC CHECK: A sequence is said to be geometric if any two consecutive terms are in the same ratio.

So, the test to check if a series is geometric is to compute consecutive ratios, and see if they all return the same number.

If we divide the first two terms, we have

$\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

If we divide the third and second terms, we have

$\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Finally, if we divide the last two terms we have

$\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{1} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

So, all ratios return the same number. This means that the series is geometric, and the common ratio is 1/2
