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.
Answer:
So, the factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
if you can get 8 oranges for 10.40 then divide 10.40 by 8. you can get each orange for 1.3. you need to know how many oranges you can get for 33.8 so divide that by 1.3 and you get 26
Answer:
x = 2 ±i
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 4x-5
Subtract 4x from each side
x^2 - 4x = 4x-5 -4x
x^2 - 4x= -5
Complete the square
Take the coefficient of the x term, divide by 2 and square it
-4/2 =2 2^2 =4
Add 4 to each side
x^2 -4x+4 = -5 +4
The left side is (x-coefficient of the x term/2)^2
(x-2)^2 = -1
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-2)^2) = sqrt(-1)
x-2 = ±i
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = 2 ±i
x = 2 ±i
Answer:
