Asequence has its first term equal to 4, and each term of the sequence is obtained by adding 2 to the previous term. if f(n) represents the nth term of the sequence, which of the following recursive functions best defines this sequence? (1 point) f(1) = 2 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 4; n > 1 f(1) = 4 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 2n; n > 1 f(1) = 2 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 4n; n > 1 f(1) = 4 and f(n) = f(n − 1) + 2; n > 1 i will award !

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 25 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. how fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 14 ft high? (round your answer to two decimal places.) ft/min
