**Problem Statement:**
Savannah just got contact lenses. Her doctor said she can wear them 2 hours the first day and can then increase the length of time by 30 minutes each day. If this pattern continues, which formula would be appropriate to determine the length of time, in either minutes or hours, she could wear her contact lenses on the 4th day?
**Options:**
1) \( a_1 = 120 \)
\( a_n = a_{n-1} + 30 \)
2) \( a_1 = 90 + 30n \)
3) \( a_1 = 2 \)
\( a_n = a_{n-1} + 0.5 \)
4) \( a_n = 2.5 + 0.5n \)
5) \( a_1 = (0.92)^n \)
\( a_n = 0.92(a_{n-1}) \)
