In second week there is percentage decrease (-ve sign) of 20% in people visiting compare to first week.

In third week there is percentage increase of 50% in people visiting compare to second week.

In fourth week there is percentage decrease of 75% in people visiting compare to third week.

Solution:

Need to determine percentage change in the number of people who went to amusement park for each week in august.

Given that,

In first week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_1 = 1060

In second week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_2 = 848

In third week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_3 = 1272

And in fourth week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_4 = 318

Percentage change from first week to second week is as follows

$\% \text { change }=\frac{p_{2}-p_{1}}{p_{1}} \times 100=\frac{848-1060}{1060} \times 100$

$=\frac{-212}{1060} \times 100=-20 \%$

So in second week there is percentage decrease (-ve sigh) of 20% in people visiting compare to first week.

Percentage change from second week to third week is as follows

$\begin{aligned} \% \text { change }=\frac{p_{3}-p_{2}}{p_{2}} \times 100 &=\frac{1272-848}{848} \times 100 =\frac{424}{848} \times 100=50 \% \end{aligned}$

So in third week there is percentage increase of 50% in people visiting compare to second week

Percentage change from third week to fourth week is as follows

$\begin{aligned} \% \text { change }=& \frac{p_{4}-p_{3}}{p_{3}} \times 100=\frac{318-1272}{1272} \times 100 =\frac{-954}{1272} \times 100=-75 \% \end{aligned}$

So in fourth week there is percentage decrease of 75% in people visiting compare to third week

Answer from: Quest

$a_1 = 1$ , and

$a_{n+1} = a_n + (n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote $a_1 = 1$ , $a_2 = 3$ , $a_3 = 6$ , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

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 $a_1 = 1$ , to get to $a_2 = 3$ , we add $2(=1+1)$

from $a_2 = 3$ , to get to $a_3 = 6$ , we add $3 (=2+1)$

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

$a_1 = 1$ , and $a_{n+1} = a_n +(n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$
