Answer:850
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this 2% of x= 17
2/100×x=17
2x/100=17
2x=1700
x=850
Given the recursive formula, each terms is five time the previous one.
This means that:
is 5 times
, which means 
- in turn,
is 5 times
, so we have
. This means that 
- Finally,
So, substituting this back gives

In general, since you have
, each time you compute a new term you multiply by a factor of 5, so if
, you have

The slope that passes both points is 0.
