Determine whether each situation is an example of inductive reasoning or deductive reasoning and explain why. A. The last few times I’ve driven past the beach on a sunny day, the parking lot was nearly full. Therefore, on sunny days, the beach parking lot will be nearly full.

B. On Thursdays, the trash gets picked up at the curb of the driveway. Today is Thursday. Therefore, the trash will get picked up at the curb of the driveway today.

.

Statement B is an example of

. The statement

.

yes

step-by-step explanation:

yes

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
