Determine whether the reasoning is an example of deductive or inductive reasoning. If the mechanic says that it will take seven days to repair your SUV, then it will actually take ten days. The mechanic says, "I figure it'll take exactly one week to fix it, ma'am." Then you can expect it to be ready ten days from now. Choose the correct answer below. OA. The reasoning is deductive because general principles are being applied to specific examples. OB. The reasoning is deductive because a general conclusion is being made from repeated observations of specific examples. OC. The reasoning is inductive because a general conclusion is being made from repeated observations of specific examples. OD. The reasoning is inductive because general principles are being applied to specific examples.

Sarah wants to arrive at her friend’s wedding at3:00. The distance from Sarah’s house to the weddingis 95 miles. Based on usual traffic patterns, Sarahpredicts she can drive the first 15 miles at 60 miles per hour, the next 10 miles at 30 miles per hour, and the remainder of the drive at 70 miles per hour. (a) How long will it take Sarah to drive the first 15 miles? (b) How long will it take Sarah to drive the next 10 miles? (c) How long will it take Sarah to drive the rest of the trip? (d) What time should Sarah leave her house?
Greek Mythology Can the Greek hero Achilles, running at 20 feet per second, ever catch a tortoise, starting 20 feet ahead of Achilles and running at 10 feet per second? The Greek mathematician Zeno said no. When Achilles runs 20 feet, the tortoise will be 10 feet ahead. Then, when Achilles runs 10 feet, the tortoise will be 5 feet ahead. Achilles will keep cutting the distance in half but will never catch the tortoise. The table shows Zeno’s reasoning. In the table, both the distances and the times required to achieve them form infinite geometric series. Using the table, show that both series have finite sums. What do these sums represent?
