Answer:
The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two solutions.
Slope = 17
y - intercept = (0,1)
The two solutions is
(0,1) and (1,18)
So he is right
In a table it's EXAMPLE: Cars/Drivers the cars is x and the drivers is y(y-intercept). In an equation, EXAMPLE using y=mx+b the b is the y-int., and in a graph it is (x,y) the y being the y-int.
Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10
Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14
Considering that the data is only noted and not changed, this is an example of an observational study.
<h3>What are observational and experimental studies?</h3>
- Experimental study: In an experimental study, there is an intervention in a sample, and it's effect is studied.
- Observational study: In an observational study, the sample is just analyzed, without any intervention.
In this problem, the data, which is the number of miles traveled, is only analyzed, no interventions are made, hence this is an example of an observational study.
