Answer

The answer is Ghana.

Explanation
Option 1: Ghana

The ancient Ghana Empire, also known as Wagadou, was the first of the great imperial powers in West Africa. It was located approximately 500 miles northwest of the modern country of Ghana. The empire was established around the 6th century and became a powerful trading state, known for its wealth in gold and its role in trans-Saharan trade.

Option 2: Mali

The Mali Empire rose to prominence after the decline of the Ghana Empire. It was established in the 13th century and became famous under the rule of Mansa Musa, who expanded the empire and made it one of the wealthiest and most influential in West Africa. However, it was not the first great imperial power in the region.

Option 3: Songhay

The Songhay Empire succeeded the Mali Empire and reached its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries. It became one of the largest Islamic empires in history, but it was not the first great imperial power in West Africa.

Option 4: Yoruba

The Yoruba people are an ethnic group in West Africa, primarily in Nigeria. While they have a rich history and established several powerful city-states, such as Ife and Oyo, they did not form the first great imperial power in West Africa.

Which statement explains the significance of providing anti-D immune globulin to an Rh-negative client during pregnancy? Anti-D immune globulin increases the production of red blood cells in Rh-negative individuals. Rh-negative clients receive anti-D globulin to treat Rh incompatibility in the fetus. Anti-D immune globulin helps prevent the development of Rh incompatibility during pregnancy. Clients who receive anti-D immune globulin have a more robust immune response.

The accompanying scatterplot shows the number of passengers departing from an airport month by month since the start of 1997 to May of 2006. Time is shown as years since 1990, with fractional years used to represent each month. (Thus, June of 1997 is 7.5 -halfway through the 7th year after 1990.) The regression and the residuals plot are also given in the accompanying display. Complete parts a) through g). d) Would you use this model to predict the numbers of passengers in 2010 (YearsSince1990=20)? Explain. A. No, because that would extrapolate too far from the years that were observed. B. Yes, because the year 2010 is close enough to the last observed value to be a safe estimate. C. Yes, because the value of R^2 is large enough to safely predict the number of passengers. D. No, because air traffic is too random to predict for any time period. e) There's a point near the middle of this time span with a large negative residual. Can you explain this outlier? A. The negative residual is September 2001. Air traffic was artificially low following the attacks on 9/11. B. The negative residual is January 1998. The extremely high ticket prices that year caused air traffic to decline. C. The negative residual is July 1999. There is no apparent cause for the decline in air traffic. D. The negative residual is March 2004. A boom in the economy was causing higher than normal air traffic as more people were traveling abroad. f) The data has been updated through 2016 and plotted on a new scatterplot, shown to the right. If the model for the data through 2006 had been used to predict the number of passengers in 2010, how well would it have worked? Why?

Complete each geometric sequence with the missing terms. Then find the growth factor for each. a. 5, 25 625 b. -1, -36, 216 c. 10, 5 0.625 d. 36, -108 e. 12, 18, 27 The first term of a sequence is 4. a. Choose a growth factor and list the next 3 terms of a geometric sequence, b. Choose a different growth factor and list the next 3 terms of a geometric sequence. Here is a rule that can be used to build a sequence of numbers once a starting number is chosen: Each number is two times three less than the previous number. a. Starting with the number 0, build a sequence of 5 numbers. b. Starting with the number 3, build a sequence of 5 numbers. c. Can you choose a starting point so that the first 5 numbers in your sequence are all positive? Explain your reasoning.
