Amanda's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every week.
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Explanation:
The equation is:

and

<u>1. Subsittute n = 6 into the equation:</u>

Now subsititute the known values:

You can solve for 

<u />
<u>2. Substitute n = 5 into the equation:</u>

Substitute the known values and solve for 

<u>3. Substitute n = 4 into the equation, subsitute the known values and solve for </u>
<u />


<span>2x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0
a = 2 b = 3 and c = 5
x = [-b +-sq root(b^2 -4ac)] / 2a
</span><span>x = [-3 +-sq root(9 -4*2*5)] / 4
x = [-3 +-sq root(9 - 40)] / 4
</span><span>x = -(3 / 4) + sq root (-36) / 4
</span><span>x = -(3 / 4) - sq root (-36) / 4
</span>
First estimate the square root of 10, about 3.16
and then the square root of 47, about 6.85
now what are the integers in between 3.16 and 6.85:
4,5,6
now add them all
4+5+6
=15
Hope this helps.
