Starting tomorrow, he will purchase 1 pack of 15 baseball cards every day, and every pack he purchases will contain 1 card of a member of his brother’s favorite team. Every time Rudy purchases a pack of cards, he will immediately trade the card of the member of his brother’s favorite team to his brother for 3 cards of members of a different team. Which of these recursive formulas produces the sequence that represents the number of baseball cards that Rudy will have at the end of each day, starting today?
