Using the equation ŷ = 5.4 + 1.7x, what is the predicted value if x is 1.2? 3.36
−3.36
7.44
−7.44
−2.47

Using the equation ŷ = 5.4 + 1.7x, we can say that if x is 1.2, the predicted value will be 7.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5.4+1.7(1.2)

Multiply 1.7 and 1.2 to get 2.04.

y=5.4+2.04

Add 5.4 and 2.04 to get 7.44.

y=7.44

There you go!

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
