is the equation represented by all the operations.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given function is

It is vertically compressed by a factor of 13 then the function becomes,

It shifted down 6 units, then the function becomes,

It shifted right by 5 units then the function becomes,

Thus the resultant equation thus obtained is 
4th term = 29
to generate the terms, substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the rule
noting that b(1) = - 7
b(2) = b(2 - 1) + 12 = b(1) + 12 = -7 + 12 = 5
b(3) = b(3 - 1) + 12 = b(2) + 12 = 5 + 12 = 17
b(4) = b(4 - 1) + 12 = b(3) + 12 = 17 + 12 = 29
To best estimate the volume of the log, we assume that the diameter is the average of the diameters at both ends giving us 12 inches as the diameter. Thus, the radius is equal to 0.5 ft. The volume of the log is calculated through the equation,
V = πr²h = π(0.5 ft)²(10 ft) = 7.85 ft³
