Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5m
(2500mm)/(1000 mm/m) = 2.5m
(850mm)/(1000 mm/m) = 0.85m
4.8m
Add the number of meters:
1.5 + 2.5 + 0.85 + 4.8 = 9.65m
The other part of your ratio is missing
= 9n + 63
generate the first few terms using the recursive equation
f(1) = 72
f(2) = 72 + 9 = 81
f(3) = 81 + 9 = 90
f(4) = 90 + 9 = 99
the sequence is 72, 81, 90, 99, .....
This is an arithmetic sequence whose n th term formula is
= 
+ (n - 1 )d
where is the first term and d the common difference
d = 99 - 90 = 90 - 81 = 81 - 72 = 9 and = 72
= 72 + 9(n - 1) = 72 + 9n - 9 = 9n + 63 ← explicit formula
The first one would be approximately -0.8. It has a negative slope and the data points are fairly close together.
The second one is almost a straight line so it would be very close to 1. I would say 0.97
The closer the data is to a straight line the closer the r value is to 1 or negative 1.
Hope this helps.
