The pattern is adding 2 stars on top of the previous figure, so figure number 4 would look like this:

* *

* *

* *

* *

Since the pattern is adding 2 stars every time, the explicit formula (for the number of stars) would be

f(n)=2n

Since when n=1, i.e. figure 1, we have 2*1=2 stars

when n=2, i.e. figure 2, we have 2*2=4 stars

when n=3, i.e. figure 3, we have 2*3=6 stars

and so on.

The recursive formula lays on the fact that we add 2 stars to the previous figure, which means that the fomula is

f_n = f_{n-1}+2

In fact, what we just wrote is simply "the number of stars at a given iteration is the number of stars at the previous iteration, plus 2.

Answer:

  210 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's rate of peeling is ...

  (15 potatoes)/(25 minutes) = 15/25 potatoes/minute = 3/5 potatoes/minute

Janette's rate of peeing potatoes is ...

  (8 potatoes)/(6 minutes) = 4/3 potatoes/minute

Their combined rate is ...

  (3/5 +4/3) = (9 +20)/15 = 29/15 . . . . potatotes/minute

Then the time required for 406 potatoes is ...

  (406 potatoes)/(29/15 potatoes/minute) = (406×15/29) minutes

  = 210 minutes
