Answer:

62 Baskets.

Explanation:

CORRECTED QUESTION

Janelle practices basketball every afternoon in her driveway. Each day her goal is to make 4 more baskets than she made the day before. If she makes 10 baskets the first day and meets her goal for 2 weeks how many baskets will Janelle make on the 14 day.

  • The first day, she made 10 baskets
  • Her goal is to make 4 more baskets than she made the day before.
  • This means, the number of baskets made keep increasing by a common term 4 every day.
  • This is an example of an arithmetic progression.

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is obtained using the function,
T_n= a+(n-1)dwhere a=first term, d=common difference.

In the problem above, a=10, d=4

We want to determine the number of baskets Janelle made on the 14th day which is the 14th term.


T_(14)= 10+(14-1)4=10+13*4=10+52=62

On the 14th day, Janelle made 62 Baskets.
