F(x) = f(x-1) - 4, with f(0) = 14  
Since you're looking for a recursive definition, you simply need to do 2 things.
 1. Define the function for some constant starting point(s).
 2. Define the function in terms of itself for all other points. 
 For this question, I'll assume the first point is f(0). So we have f(x) = ?, with f(0) = 14 
 And we've handed the starting point by simply declaring that f(0) has the value of 14. Now for the recursive portion.
 As you've noticed, each subsequent value is 4 less than the previous. So we can say f(x) = f(x-1) - 4. And with that, we can make the function.
 f(x) = f(x-1) - 4, with f(0) = 14 
 As a side note, you are not restricted to just 1 starting value, nor just the immediate prior invocation of the function. For instance the definition of the Fibonacci sequence could be defined as
 f(x) = f(x-1) + f(x-2), with f(0) = 0 and f(1) = 1

A[1] = 14 . . . . . . . . . defines the first term
a[n+1] = a[n] -4 . . . says each term is 4 less than the one before it

vagabundo [1.1K]

The total bill (before tax and tip) = $90

Tax = 6% = 0.06

0.06 x $90 = $5.4

Tip = 20% = 0.20

0.20 x $90 = $18

$90 + $18 + $5.4 = $113.4 (Answer)

Eloise scored a total of 268 points during the basketball season. Of her total points, l points came from left handed shots. She
Naddik [55]

Answer:

\bold{268=225+}l

43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total points scored in basketball season, T = 268

Points scored from right handed shots, R = 225

Points scored from left handed shots = l

To find:

To write an equation to describe the situation and find the value of l for left handed shots ?

Solution:

We know that the points can be scored in basketball either by right hand shots or by left hand shots.

In other words, we can say that:

Total points scored in basketball season = points scored from right handed shots + points scored from left handed shots

i.e.

T = R + l\\\Rightarrow \bold{268=225+}l

So, the equation is:

\bold{268=225+}l

Now, let us find the value of l from the above equation:

l=268-225\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 43}

Number of points scored from left handed shots = <em>43</em>
