When the price faced by a competitive firm was $5, the firm produced nothing in the short run. however, when the price rose to $10, the firm produced 100 tons of output. from this we can infer that the firm's total cost of producing 100 tons is less than $1000 the minimum value of the firm's average variable cost lies between $5 and $ 10 the firm's marginal cost of production never fall below $5 the firm's average cost of production was less than $10 the firm's marginal cost curve must be flat.

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
