Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The correct answer is aβ‚™ = aₙ₋₁ + 8 when a₁ = 80 and n β‰₯ 2Step-by-step explanation:1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this question:Amount of money in the cash box at the ticket gate when it opens = US$ 80Amount of money that every visitor to the haunted corn maze pays (ticket) = US$ 80Number of people paying the ticket to the haunted corn maze = nAmount of money in the cash box at any moment after the opening = x2. Let's write the recursive formula for the amount of money in the cash box (x)aβ‚™ = aₙ₋₁ + 8 when a₁ = 80 and n β‰₯ 2Let's prove it for n = 2, n= 3 and n = 4aβ‚‚ = aₙ₋₁ + 8 = a₁ + 8 = 80 + 8 = 88a₃ = aₙ₋₁ + 8 = aβ‚‚ + 8 = 88 + 8 = 96 aβ‚„ = aₙ₋₁ + 8 = a₃ + 8 = 96 + 8 = 104
