The Science Club went on a two-day field trip. The first day the members paid $50 for transportation plus $13 per ticket to the planetarium. The second day they paid $95 for transportation plus $10 per ticket to
the geology museum. Write an expression to represent the total cost in dollars for two days for the
n members of the club.
An expression that represents the total cost in dollars for two days for the n members of the club is given

Think of it as five or above give it a shove. change the 5 or above to the right to a zero and add one to the number on the left.

a - base

b - exponent

so,

the base is 8the exponent is 3the exponent tells you to multiply 8 together three timesthe expanded form is 8*8*8

20 percentage, you can also do it on a calculator.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , 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 , 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
