Step 5: Using data from a specific town to write equations and draw conclusions about degrees earned. In Springfield, a specific town in the US, 6 women and 25 men earned bachelor degrees in 2000. In 2010, however, 391 women and 410 men in that town earned bachelor degrees. Assume that the rate of change was constant between 2000 and 2010.
a. Without using regression, write a system of equations that model the number of bachelor degrees earned by men and women in Springfield as a function of x, the number of years since 2000. Show your work.
a. Equation for Springfield’s men:

b. Equation for Springfield’s women:
b. When, if ever, will the number of women earning bachelor degrees equal the number of men earning bachelor degrees in Springfield? Justify your answer using appropriate mathematics vocabulary.

idk this answer sorry cant on this one.

step-by-step explanation:

, 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

, and for

we can't see all full 4 options, but if this is the full option, than the very left one is correct:

-2/5 * -3 3/4

remake the question, adding a picture of all the question, or write down the full left and right answers.
