Check the picture below
notice, the length cannot be a negative value.. so is not -17
2 blue, 4 green, 3 white....total of 9 chips
P(blue) = 2/9
replacing
P(green) = 4/9
P(both events happening) = 2/9 * 4/9 = 8/81 <==
<u>Answer:
</u>
Required five terms of sequence are 19 , 12 , 5 , -2 and -9 .
<u>
Solution:
</u>
Need to find the five terms of the sequence.
Given recursive rule is f(x) = f(x-1) -7
Substituting x = 2 , f(2) = f(2-1)-7
= f(2) = f(1) – 7 ------(1)
Also given that f(2) = 12.
On substituting the given value of f(2) in eq (1) we get
12 = f(1) – 7
f(1) = 12 + 7 = 19
Using given recursive rule and given value of f(2) calculating f(3)
Substituting x = 3 ,
f(3) = f(3-1) – 7
= f(2) – 7
= 12 – 7
= 5
Using given recursive rule and calculated value of f(3) calculating f(4)
Substituting x = 4,
f(4) = f(4-1) – 7
= f(3) – 7
= 5– 7
= -2
Using given recursive rule and calculated value of f(4) calculating f(5)
Substituting x = 5,
f(5) = f(5-1) – 7
= f(4) – 7
= -2– 7
= -9
Hence required five terms of sequence are 19 , 12 , 5 , -2 and -9 .
