The total square footage of mini storage units being rented in a city is graphed to forecast future demand. The scatter plot has

a trend line y=0.538x + 9.02, where x = 0 is the year 2005 and y is the total area rented (in ten thousand square feet) of all mini storage units in the city. If the total area rented continues to increase at the same rate, about how many square feet of mini storage units will be needed by the year 2018?
A 190,000 sq ft
B 160,000 sq ft
C 19,000 sq ft
D 16,000 sq ft

Answer:

B 160,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2018 is 13 years after 2005.

Put x=13 in the equation and evaluate:

... y = 0.538·13 +9.02 = 6.994 +9.02 = 16.014

This is the number of 10,000 sq ft, so the required area is ...

... 16 times 10,000 sq ft = 160,000 sq ft.

Answer:

D) 16,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot has a trend line y = 0.538x + 9.02, where "x" represents the number years and "y" represents the area rented.

x =0, when the year 2005

Here we need to find the storage area needed in the year 2018

Therefore, x = 13 in the year 2018.

Now plug in x = 13 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = 0.538(13) + 9.02

y = 6.99 + 9.02

y = 16.01 thousand square feet

y = 16.01 *1000

y = 16,010 square feet

The nearest approximate value 16,000 sq.ft

The answer is D) 16,000 sq ft

Thank you.

What is the recursive formula when given the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a careful look at a(n) =  6(-8)^(n-1).

The first term is 6.  This is the result if we let n = 1; 6(-8)^0 = 6(1) = 6.  Thus, we can immediately eliminate possible answer choices A and D.

What's the next term?  Knowing that the first term, a(1), is 6, the next term is found by multiplying this 6 by (-8)^1, obtaining -48.

The next (third) term is found by multiplying this -48 by (-8)^2, obtaining -48*(+64), or - 3072.

Note that the sign of (-8)^(n-1) alternates, being odd when n-1 is odd and even when n-1 is even.

Answer C is the correct one.

Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 3x − 2y = 18 and select the appropriate option below.

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Y intercept:

Simply substitute all the x values with 0:

When x = 0:

3(0) - 2y = 18

Move the - 2y over to the other side making it a +2y:

0 = 18 + 2y

Move the +18 over to the other side making it a -18:

-18 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{-18}{2} = \frac{2y}{2}

-9 = y

So y intercept is:

<h3> (0 , -9)</h3>

X - intercept:

Simply substitute all the Y's with 0:

3x - 3(0) = 18

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3x}{3}  = \frac{18}{3}

x = 6

So the X intercept is:

<h3>(6 , 0)</h3>

This means that your guess of B is correct.
