18. A recovering heart attack patient is told to get on a regular walking program. The patient is told to walk 5 km the first week, 8 km the second week, 11 km the third week and so on for a period of 10 weeks. At that point the patient is to maintain the distance walked during the 10th week. How far will the patient walk during the 1Oth week? a. Write out the sequence using blanks where appropriate. b. Write an explicit formula for the sequence. c. How far will the patient walk during the 10th week? Show all work.
