The value of the function at x = 5, will be 343. Then the correct option is A.
<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>Let a₁ be the first term and r be the common ratio.
Then the nth term of the geometric sequence is given as,
aₙ = a₁ · (r)ⁿ⁻¹
We know that the first term is 1/7 and the common ratio is 7.
Then the equation will be
Then the value of the function at x = 5, will be
y = (1/7) · (7)⁵⁻¹
y = (1/7) · (7)⁴
y = 7³
y = 343
Thus, the value of the function at x = 5, will be 343.
Then the correct option is A.

Answer:
a) It will take Izzy 0.226 hours = 13.6 minutes = 13 minutes 36 seconds to run to school on dashed days.
b) Izzy runs 1.30 miles on dry days.
c) Izzy saves 3 minutes and 12 seconds cutting through the woods.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a simpe rule of three problem.
a) On rainy days, she runs 1.2 + 0.5 = 1.7 miles.
The problem states that for rainy days, she runs 7.5 miles per hour. We know that in a hour, Izzy will run 7.5 miles. We want to know how long it takes for her to run 1.7 miles. So
1 hour - 7.5 miles
x hours - 1.7 miles
7.5x = 1.7
x = 0.226 hours
It will take Izzy 0.226 hours = 13.6 minutes = 13 minutes 36 seconds to run to school on dashed days.
b) Now we have a right triangle, where the sides are the 1.2 miles and the 0.5miles, and the path through the woods x is the hypotenuse.
So, we apply the pythagorean theorem.
So, Izzy runs 1.30 miles on dry days.
c) The first step for this question is knowing how long it takes for Izzy to run 1.30 miles at 7.50 miles a hour. So:
1 hour - 7.50 miles
x hours = 1.30 miles
7.50x = 1.30
x = 0.173 hours
So, it takes Izzy 0.173 hours = 10.4 minutes = 10 minutes 24 seconds to run through the woods.
13' 36''
-10' 24''
3' 12''
Izzy saves 3 minutes and 12 seconds cutting through the woods.
