Question

Each day her goal is to make 4 more baskets than she made thr day before. If she makes 10 baskets the first day and meets her go for 2 weeks how many baskets will Janelle make on the 14th day?

Answer 1

Janelle will make 62 baskets on 14th day.

Explanation:

Given,

Number of goals on 1st day = 10

We need to find the number of goals on 14th day.

Solution,

Since Janelle made 10 goals on 1st day and want to make 4 more basket from the day before.

So we can say that;

`a_1=10` and
`d=4`

And also
`n=14`

here
`a_1` = first term

d = common difference

n = number of terms

Now we apply the formula of A.P.

`T_n=a_1+(n-1)d`

now substituting the given values, we get;

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

Hence Janelle will make 62 basket on 14th day.
