Calculate the peak hour volume for six-15 minute periods with the following volumes: 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 155

The peak hour volume is 620

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the peak hour volume

To calculate the peak hour volume, we need some information

Firstly we need to know that a period of 15 minutes refer to 1/4 of an hour

So, the given volume needs to be multiplied by 4 to get the peak hour value

Now back to the values given, we need the highest of them all

As regards the question, the highest of them all is 155

So the peak hour volume here would be 155 * 4 = 620

, 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
