A) T(m) = -0.16m +331.3
B) T(2015) = 8.9 . . . seconds
_____
The linear regression function of a graphing calculator can find the equation of the line easily. Or, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line.
.. T(m) = (10.5 -14.5)/(2005 -1980)*(m -1980) +14.5
.. T(m) = -0.16(m -1980) +14.5
Answer:
3rd option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x³ - 7x² - 5x + 35 ( factor the first/second and third/fourt terms )
= x² (x - 7) - 5(x - 7) ← factor out (x - 7) from each term
= (x² - 5)(x - 7)
