Which of the following describes the graph of y = RootIndex 3 StartRoot 8 x minus 64 EndRoot minus 5 compared to the parent cube root function? stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 64 units right and 5 units down
stretched by a factor of 8 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down
stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down
stretched by a factor of 8 and translated 64 units right and 5 units down

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

i think the amount would be $140.62
