If degree of variable is one then eq. is linear
so given is linear.
-8
f(x) is y, in which x is the independent variable
when x = 5, y = -8
Hi Zahra, I've found a very simple and effective way of calculating percentages. 78% refers to 78 out of every 100, which can also be written as "0.78". Now, we can simply multiply 0.78 by your number (975) to get 760.5 students. Obviously, there isn't a half a student, so we round that number up to 761. So 761 out of 975 students do their homework before 10:00.
For this case, the arithmetic sequence is given by:
an = 17n-1
Let's check it:
First week:
n = 1:
a1 = 17 (1) -1
a1 = 17-1
a1 = 16
Second week:
n = 2:
a2 = 17 (2) -1
a2 = 34-1
a2 = 33
Third week:
n = 3:
a3 = 17 (3) -1
a3 = 51-1
a3 = 50
Answer:
the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n is:
an = 17n-1
After plotting the data from the table, with the number of times sick per year as a function of the number of apples eaten per week, I can conclude that there is no definite correlation between the two variables. This is because the data points do not have a good fit with any trend, meaning the R-squared value is low. Thus, the number of apples eaten per week has no significant effect on the number of times the people listed get sick per year.
