Answer:
1. 24
2. [tex]10+2n[/tex] where n denotes number of days.
3. 70
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Consider the sequence: [tex]12,14,16,18,...[/tex]
Here,
[tex]14-12=2\\16-14=2\\18-16=2[/tex]
Take the common difference as d = 2 and the first term as a = 12
Use the formula: [tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]
To find expected gain at the end of the week, find [tex]a_7[/tex]
[tex]a_7=12+(7-1)2\\=12+6(2)\\=12+12\\=24[/tex]
2.
Yes, the gain shows the pattern.
Put [tex]a=12,d=2[/tex] in [tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]
[tex]a_n=12+(n-1)2\\=12+2n-2\\=10+2n[/tex]
Here, n denotes number of days.
3.
To find expected gain at the end of 30 days, put [tex]n=30[/tex] in [tex]a_n=10+2n[/tex]
[tex]a_{30}=10+2(30)\\ =10+60\\=70[/tex]
