Use the times and corresponding closing prices of the stock to create coordinate pairs. Let x represent the number of weeks since the first data point, and let y represent the closing price at each time. So, x = 0 represents the data point from 5 years ago. There are 52 weeks in a year, and you can write the time for each closing price recorded in terms of weeks that have passed since 5 years ago, when x = 0. Fill in the table to represent your data as coordinate pairs. x (Weeks Since 5 Years Ago) y (Closing Price, in $)
most recent 260
7 days ago 259
1 month ago 256
6 months ago 234
1 year ago 208
3 years ago 104
5 years ago 0

Use the exponential model to make predictions about closing prices of this stock. Remember that x represents the number of weeks since the first data point, so the value of x today would be 260.

Type the correct answer in each box. If necessary, round the answers to the nearest cent.

One week from today, the stock is predicted to close at $

.

One month from today, the stock is predicted to close at $

.

One year from today, the stock is predicted to close at  $

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
