y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let Area be the independent variable and Price of the homes sold be dependent on the area.
Let x represents the area and y represents the price.
We will plot the data in excel using trend line function.
The model so obtained is:
y =
Rounding values to the nearest hundredth, we get
y = 
Answer:
7.87 years
Step-by-step explanation:
#First we determine the effective annual rate based on the 9% compounded semi annual;

#We then use this effective rate in the compound interest formula to solve for n. Given that the principal doubles after 2 yrs:

Hence, it takes 7.87 years for the principal amount to double.
77.) x= {-5, 6}
78.) x= {-4, 9}
79.) x= {5/3, 2}
80.) x= {1/9, 3}
81.) x= {-6, 18}
82.) x= {-3√3 +4, 3√3 +4}
83.) x= {-7, -3}
84.) x= {-√85 +9 /2, √85 -9 /2}
