1. In an auditorium, there are 21 seats in the first row and 26 seats in the second row. The number of seats in a row continues

to increase by 5 with each additional row.
(a) Write an iterative (explicit) rule to model the sequence formed by the number of seats in each row. Show your work.

(b) Use the rule to determine how many seats are in row 15. Show your work.


2. Rhonda started a business. Her business made $40,000 in profits the first year. Her annual profits have increased by an average of 6% each year since then.

(a) Write an iterative rule to model the sequence formed by the profits of Rhonda’s business each year.

(b) Use the rule to determine what the annual profits of Rhonda’s business can be predicted to be 20 years from the start of her business. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round until the end. Show your work.

3. The sequence 3, 12, 48, 192, … shows the number of pushups Kendall did each week, starting with her first week of exercising.

(a) What is the recursive rule for the sequence?

(b) What is the iterative rule for the sequence?

1. Let s_n be the number of seats in the n-th row. The number seats in the n-th row relative to the number of seats in the (n-1)-th row is given by the recursive rule

s_n=s_{n-1}+5


Since s_1=21, we have

s_2=s_1+5
s_3=s_2+5=s_1+2\cdot5
s_4=s_3+5=s_1+3\cdot5
\cdots
s_n=s_{n-1}+5=\cdots=s_1+(n-1)\cdot5

So the explicit rule for the sequence s_n is

s_n=21+5(n-1)\implies s_n=5n+16

In the 15th row, the number of seats is


s_{15}=5(15)+16=91

2. Let p_n be the amount of profit in the n-th year. If the profits increase by 6% each year, we would have

p_2=p_1+0.06p_1=1.06p_1
p_3=1.06p_2=1.06^2p_1
p_4=1.06p_3=1.06^3p_1
\cdots
p_n=1.06p_{n-1}=\cdots=1.06^{n-1}p_1

with p_1=40,000.

The second part of the question is somewhat vague - are we supposed to find the profits in the 20th year alone? the total profits in the first 20 years? I'll assume the first case, in which we would have a profit of


p_{20}=1.06^{19}\cdot40,000\approx121,024

3. Now let p_n denote the number of pushups done in the n-th week. Since 3\cdot4=12, 12\cdot4=48, and 48\cdot4=192, it looks like we can expect the number of pushups to quadruple per week. So,

p_n=4p_{n-1}

starting with p_1=3.

We can apply the same reason as in (2) to find the explicit rule for the sequence, which you'd find to be

p_n=4^{n-1}p_1\implies p_n=4^{n-1}\cdot3

Answer:

41.1units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A=\frac{h_{b}b }{2} \\=\frac{8*4}{2} \\=16units^2(triangle)

A=\frac{\pi r^2}{2}\\\frac{\pi 4^2}{2}\\=25.13units^2(semicircle)

Add both together

16+25.13\\=41.13units^2
