Function is missing.

It is;

f(n) = ½⋅f(n − 1) for n ≥ 2

Answer:

Domain for this function is;

n ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told They decide they will have 64 pieces in week 1,

Thus;

f(1) = 64

From the function given;

f(n) = ½⋅f(n − 1)

So;

f(2) = ½•f(2 - 1)

f(2) = ½•f(1)

f(2) = ½ • 64

f(2) = 32

Also;

f(3) = ½•f(3 - 1)

f(3) = ½•f(2)

f(3) = ½ × 32 = 16

Looking at the steps, they follow a general pattern of;

f(n) = 64•½^(n - 1) for n ≥ 1

Thus, the domain for the function for n weeks after the first one is n ≥ 1

Answer:

\frac{6}{20} \ mile\ per\ hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For every 1/2 of an hour that the turtle is crawling, he can travel 3/20 of a mile

Question asked:

At what unit rate is the turtle crawling?

Solution:

As here<u> time taken is given</u> and the <u>distance traveled is also given </u>and hence we will apply speed and distance formula to find rate of crawling of turtle.

Time taken by turtle = \frac{1}{2} \ hour

Distance which can be traveled by turtle = \frac{3}{20} \ miles

Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}

         =\frac{3}{20} \div\frac{1}{2} \\\\ =\frac{3}{20} \times\frac{2}{1} \\ \\ =\frac{6}{20}

Therefore, the rate at which the turtle is crawling is \frac{6}{20} \ mile\ per\ hour
