Has the marrying age of a man changed over the years? The United States Bureau of the Census takes a formal count of everyone in the U. S. every 10 years and has provided the following data that gives the median age of an
American man at the time of his first marriage.
Year 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000
Median Age 25.124.6 24.3 24.3 22.8 22.8 23.2 24.7 26.126.8
What does a rate of change of zero mean in this situation?
a. The median age of a man at the time of his first marriage is, on the average, constant
b. The median age of a man at the time of his first marriage is, on the average, decreasing.
C. The median age of a man at the time of his first marriage is, on the average, increasing.
d. The rate of change cannot be zero in this situation.

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
