A) Explain what the slope of the line says about housing prices and house size
B) What price would you predict for a 2500 square foot house in the market?
C) A real estate agent shows a potential buyer 1100 square foot house, saying that the asking price is $6000 less than what one would expect to pay for a house of this size. What is the asking price, and what is the $6000 called?

Answer:

A) m = 0.062

B) 202.87 thousand dollars

C) Original price = 116.07 thousand dollars. $6000 is called the error term.                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Price = 47.87+0.062(size)

The above equation is regression equation where price is in thousand dollars and size in square feet.

Let p be the prize and s be the size.

p(s) = 47.87 + 0.062s

Comparing it to linear equation, we have,

y= mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

m = 0.062

c = 47.87

A) slope of the line

The slope of line tells the rate of change. Thus, it tells the change in price if the size of house is increased by 1 square feet.

The price of house increases by 0.062 thousand dollars if the size of house is increased by 1 square feet.

B) Price of house

We are given s = 2500. Putting this value in the equation.

p(2500) = 47.87 + 0.062(2500) =202.87

Thus, the price of a 2500 square feet house is 202.87 thousand dollars.

C) We are given s = 1100

Putting the value in the equation:

p(1100) = 47.87 + 0.062(1100) =116.07

Original price = 116.07 thousand dollars

Asking price =

116.07 - 6 = 110.07

The buyer is asking for 110.07 thousand dollars.

$6000 is called the error term.

Use function notation to write a recursive formula to represent the sequence: 3, 6, 9, …
dlinn [17]

Answer:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute $ n = 1, 2, 3,.. $ to get the recursive formula.

OPTION 1: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 3

Substituting n = 1.

f(1) = f(1 - 1) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3.

Substituting n = 2.

f(2) = f(2 - 1) + 3 = f(1) + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6.

Substituting n = 3.

f(3) = f(3 - 1) + 3 = f(2) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9.

The numbers match the given sequence. So, we say the above recursive formula represents the sequence.

OPTION 2: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 2

Substituting n = 1

f(1) = f(0) +  2 $ \ne $ 3.

So, this is eliminated.

Similarly, OPTION 3 and OPTION 4 can be eliminated as well.
