Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
Area= Base x Height
Range = {-2(-2) - 5, -2(-1) - 5, -2(1) - 5, -2(2) - 5} = {4 - 5, 2 - 5, -2 - 5, -4 - 5} = (-1, -3, -7, -9}
You can try to show this by induction:
• According to the given closed form, we have
, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.
• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

and

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

From the given recurrence, we know

so that






which is what we needed. QED
There are 16 cups in a gallon. Divide 100 into 16 to get 6.25. You now just multiply 3.12 by 6.25 to get 19.5. Your answer is $19.50. Hope this helps!
