Answer:

f(5) = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found from the previous term, thus

f(2) = - 0.5 f(1) = - 0.5 × 120 = - 60

f(3) = - 0.5f(2) = - 0.5 × - 60 = 30

f(4) = - 0.5f(3) = - 0.5 × 30 = - 15

f(5) = - 0.5f(4) = - 0.5 × - 15 = 7.5

A grocer pays $7.00 for each carton of 14 cantaloupes. Which inequality describes p, the set of prices, in dollars, that he can
Deffense [45]
I can tell you that is 50 cents for cantaloupe at that price....
So I think he'd have to charge $1.50. He'd get what he paid for back plus a dollar.   If C= one cantaloupe ....it would look something like
 p > $1.50c   
 BECAUSE 1.50 x 14 = 21 minus the 7 he paid would leave you with 14... on dollar per cantaloupe... so the price can be anything greater than $1.50
