14. politics mi-ling wants to mail at least 850 fliers encouraging voters to vote for the
upcoming school levy. she has five days to get them all in the mail.
a. write an inequality to represent how many fliers mi-ling must mail every day.
b. how many fliers should mi-ling mail each day?

f = amount of fliers expected to be mailed in 1 day.

a)

so, she has 5 days to mail those fliers, so

day 1........... 1f mailed out

day 2........... 2f mailed out

day 3........... 3f mailed out

day 4........... 4f mailed out

day 5........... 5f mailed out

so she'll be mailing out a total of 5f fliers, we know whatever "f" is, that total must be at least 850, now, it could be more, no less, could also be 850 exactly, but could also be more, 5f ⩾ 850.

b)

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
