It will cost 6500 to rent trucks plus 225 for each ton of sugar transported. the total cost, c (in dollars), for transporting n tons is given by the following function

C = 6500 + 225n

Step-by-step explanation:

It will cost $6500 to rent a truck plus $225 for each ton of sugar transported.

So, in the equation which relates the total cost for transporting sugar in a truck, $6500 will be the initial value and $225 will be the rate of transporting sugar per ton.

Hence, for transporting n tons of sugar, the total cost C in dollars is given by the following equation  

C = 6500 + 225n (Answer)

, 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

the answer is 1/4
