I'll just make a manual computation on how 1 member recruits his members until week 5. Then multiply the sum by 2.
old new
1: 1
2: 1 x 3 = 3 ⇒ 1 3 *only new members recruit 3 more
3: 3 x 3 = 9 ⇒ 4 9
4: 9 x 3 = 27⇒ 13 27
5: 27 x 3 = 81 ⇒ 40 81
40 + 81 = 121. Total number of members under 1 founding member.
121 x 2 founding members = 242 total number of members within 5 weeks.

Answer:
a = 8; b = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Filling in the given values gives you two equations.
7 = a(2) +b
-1 = a(1) +b
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)
8 = a . . . . . simplify
Using this value in the first equation gives ...
7 = (8)(2) +b
b = 7 -16 = -9
The constants are a = 8, b = -9.
Find the rectangle area
A = 8*4 = 32 in²
Find the height of trapezoid
8-4 = 4 in
Find the area of trapezoid
(5,3+8)*4/2 = 13,3*4/2 = 53,2/2 = 26,6 in²
Find the figure area
26,6+32 = 58,6 in²
-41.
