A 2-column table with 7 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 5, negative 3, negative 1, 1, 3, 5, 7. The second column is labeled f of x with entries 8, 4, 0, negative 2, negative 2, 0, 4. Which is a valid prediction about the continuous function f(x)? The answer options are...
f(x) ≥ 0 over the interval [5, ∞).
f(x) ≤ 0 over the interval [–1, ∞).
f(x) > 0 over the interval (–∞, 1).
f(x) < 0 over the interval (–∞. –1).

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

for certain loans like mortgage loans, lenders scrutinize your debt to income ratio when you are applying for credit because it them evaluate your ability to repay your debts.
