Essentially the question is answering itself here > <span>F(x) is very large negative number.</span>
<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>
<u>Check:</u>
In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51. They had 50 left.
In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17. They had (50-17)=33 left.
In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9. They had (33-9) = 24 left.
In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5. They had (24-5) = 19 left. yay!
Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home. Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.
================================================
The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.
-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.
-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .
-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .
Do the same for the 2nd hour.
Then do the same for the 1st hour.
And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
<span>for the first part, realize that the hour and minute hands are moving at different rates; in one hour, the minute hands moves all the way around the face of the clock, and thus moves a total of 360 degrees or 2 pi radians; the hour hand moves only 1/12 away around the clock, so covers only 30 degrees or Pi/6 radians.
Now, the LINEAR distance traveled by the tip of each hand is also determined by the length of the hand. In the case of the minute hand, it sweeps out a circle of radius 10 cm, so traces out a circle of radius 10 cm. Since the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r, the minute hand (remember it made one complete cycle) covers a distance of 2*pi*10cm=20 Pi cm
The hour hand covers only 1/12 a circle, but that circle is only 6 cm in radius, so the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand is:
1/12 *[2 *pi*r]=1/12*[12*pi]=pi
so the difference is 19pi
for the last part, you should draw a diagram of the two hands, the minute hand is 10 cm in length, the hour hand is 6 cm in length, and they are 30 degrees apart...from that drawing, see if you can figure out the remaining leg of the triangle you can form from them
good luck</span><span>

I'm not sure but I think it's 40 water stations...
First term: a(1) = 4; common ratio: r = 2
Then:
a(n) = 4(2)^(n-1)
Check: Predict the 4th term using this formula:
a(4) = 4(2)^3 = 4(8) = 32 (correct)
