You will bike 30.2 miles in the seventh day according to the prediction.
Explanation:
Here we have the following data, You bike
5 miles the first day of your training,
5.4 miles the second day,
6.2 miles the third day, and
7.8 miles the fourth day.
So we can know some facts:
From the first day to the second day the number of miles increases:
![5.4-5=0.4mi](/tpl/images/0532/1647/5b051.png)
From the second day to the third day the number of miles increases:
![6.2-5.4=0.8mi](/tpl/images/0532/1647/d8781.png)
From the third day to the fourth day the number of miles increases:
![7.8-6.2=1.6mi](/tpl/images/0532/1647/d02c7.png)
By taking a look at the pattern, we can see that each day you increases the number of miles by a factor of 2 compared to the previous day. So:
From the fourth day to the fifth day the number of miles increases:
![x_{5}-7.8=3.2mi \\ \\ x_{5}=7.8+3.2=11mi, \ \text{Day 5}](/tpl/images/0532/1647/883f8.png)
From the fifth day to the sixth day the number of miles increases:
![x_{6}-11=6.4mi \\ \\ x_{6}=6.4+11=17.4mi, \ \text{Day 6}](/tpl/images/0532/1647/59e01.png)
Finally:
From the sixth day to the seventh day the number of miles increases:
![x_{7}-17.4=12.8mi \\ \\ x_{7}=12.8+17.4=30.2mi, \ \text{Day 7}](/tpl/images/0532/1647/dffad.png)
