Alton has been recording the number of apples on his apple tree each week:

week apples
2 15
3 22
4 29
5 36

the function representing alton's apples per week is f(w) = 7w + 1. what does the 1 represent?
the number of apples at the start

the week number when alton recorded the apples

the number of apples alton had in total

the number the apples increased by each week

For this case we have the following function:

We have the following variables:

w: number of weeks

f (w): total number of apples

For the beginning, that is, week zero we have:

That is, at the beginning there was an apple.

the 1 represents:

The number of apples at the start

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.

i think u have 12 apples sorry again i don't really know if it correct i'm just tryna hrlp people out.
