In his first trip around a field, a farmer makes 123 bales. in his second trip, he makes 11 fewer bales. because each trip is shorter than the preceding trip, the farmer estimates that the pattern will continue. estimate the total number of bales made when there are another five trips around the field.

  630

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by ...

  Sn = n(2a1 +(n-1)d)/2

For the sequence of numbers of bales, we have ...

  a1 = 123, d = -11, n = 7

so the total number of bales in 7 trips around the field is ...

  S7 = 7(2·123 +6(-11))/2 = 630

The total number of bales made is about 630.

123 + 112 + 101 + 90 + 79 + 68 + 57 = 630

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
