Answer:
c.) aₙ = 5 × 4ⁿ⁻¹
Explanation:
Geometric sequence: aₙ = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹
where 'a' resembles first term of a sequence, 'r' is the common difference.
Here sequence: 5, 20, 80, 320,...
First term (a) = 5
Common difference (d) = second term ÷ first term = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Hence putting into equation: aₙ = 5(4)ⁿ⁻¹
Is there a picture because I dont see it
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
If;
5 gallons = $12.50 / 5 = $2.50/gallon
11 gallons = $26.40 / 11 = $2.40/gallon
In conclusion, 5 gallons cost more per gallon than 11.
Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:
F(x) = |x| + 4
f(0) = I 0 I + 4===> (0,4)
f(0) = - 0 +4 ===> (0,4)
