Using a geometric sequence, it is found that:
a) For the first 5 weeks, the numbers are: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
b) Hence some of the volunteers can stop recruiting new volunteers during the 7th week.
<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:
In which is the first term.
For this problem, on the first week there are 2 people, and since each new people involve two more, the common ratio is of 2, hence the parameters for the geometric sequence are:
Hence the number of people after n weeks is:
For the first 5 weeks, the numbers are:
There will be 150 volunteers when , hence:
The above is because 2^7 = 128 and 2^8 = 256, and 128 < 150 < 256.
Hence some of the volunteers can stop recruiting new volunteers during the 7th week.

Answer:
Value of y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
By the midpoint theorem of the triangles,
"Segment joining midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and measure half the length of the third side."
Therefore, from the figure attached,
In ΔFGH,
J and K are the mid points of the two sides GH and FH.
By theorem, segment JK║GF and m(JK) =
(5y + 3) = 2(2y + 5)
5y + 3 = 4y + 10
5y - 4y = 10 - 3
y = 7
