I hope this helped I've only done part A
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(1 + 1x) = -50
-5 + -5x = -50
-5 + -5x + 5 = -5x
-50 + 5 = -45
-5x = -45
-5x / -5 = x
-45 / -5 = 9
x = 9
Since y is anything greater than 2, you would draw a straight line across the point (from left to right) and if you had to shade you would shade above it (:
You can try them out and see which one works.
a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one
b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)
c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)
d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one
_____
The appropriate choice is ...
... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6
— — — — —
You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.
