Answer:
8m.
Step-by-step explanation:
an = 2 an-1 means that each term in the sequence( except the first) is obtained by multiplying the last term by 2, so the first 4 terms are m, 2m, 4m, 8m.
Answer:
y=17

To test if linear model, we fit the data into a line and solve for the correlation coefficient:
The equation is
y = -1537.5x + 5466.67
and the correlation coefficient is
R² = 0.964
The model can't be exponential growth since the daily supply decreases with time. So, the data is tested if it's exponential decay. The same procedure is done the exponential equation would be linearized in the form:
y = -2816.06 lnx + 4073.57
with correlation coefficient of
R² = 0.998
Since the correlation coefficient for the exponential decay model is closer to 1, it must be the right model.
