Question

5. Janelle practices basketball every afternoon in her driveway. Each day,

her goal is to make 4 more baskets than she made the day before.
If she makes 10 baskets the first day and meets her goal for 2 weeks,
how many baskets will Janelle make on the 14th day?

Answer 1

62 baskets

Explanation:

We can define a sequence that defines the number of baskets, given the day number:

`a_n=10+4(n-1), n\geq 1`

We can then substitute 14 for n:

`a_(14)=10+4(14-1)=62`
