The image shows a question in Spanish about the price of gasoline and how it changes weekly. The specific task is to fill out a table based on certain conditions.

### Problem Description:
- In week 0, the price of gasoline is $1,500.
- Each week, the Fondo de Estabilización (price stabilization fund) injects money, so the price doesn't increase by more than $6 per week.
- You need to fill out the table for 5 weeks (week 0 to week 4).

### Approach:
1. **Week 0**: Price is given as $1,500.
2. **Week 1 to 4**: Since the maximum weekly price increase is $6, the price each week increases by $6.

Now let’s calculate the prices for each week and fill the table.

\[
\text{Price in Week 0} = 1500
\]
\[
\text{Price in Week 1} = 1500 + 6 = 1506
\]
\[
\text{Price in Week 2} = 1506 + 6 = 1512
\]
\[
\text{Price in Week 3} = 1512 + 6 = 1518
\]
\[
\text{Price in Week 4} = 1518 + 6 = 1524
\]

### Completed Table:
| **Semana** | **Valor de la gasolina en Santiago** |
|------------|--------------------------------------|
| 0          | 1500                                 |
| 1          | 1506                                 |
| 2          | 1512                                 |
| 3          | 1518                                 |
| 4          | 1524                                 |

1. How would the prices change if the weekly increase was $10 instead of $6?
2. What would happen if the stabilization fund failed to control the price after a few weeks?
3. How would you model the price increase with a general formula for any number of weeks?
4. What economic factors could justify the stabilization of gasoline prices in a country?
5. How does the price increase impact the demand for gasoline?

**Tip:** When calculating incremental changes, always check if there is a constant or variable increase each period.
