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

In ΔWXY, x = 680 inches, w = 900 inches and ∠W=157°. Find all possible values of ∠X, to the nearest degree.
ikadub [295]

Given:

In ΔWXY, x = 680 inches, w = 900 inches and ∠W=157°.

To find:

The all possible values of ∠X, to the nearest degree.

Solution:

Law of Sines:

\dfrac{a}{\sin A}=\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C}

For ΔWXY,

\dfrac{w}{\sin W}=\dfrac{x}{\sin X}=\dfrac{y}{\sin Y}

Now,

\dfrac{w}{\sin W}=\dfrac{x}{\sin X}

\dfrac{900}{\sin (157^\circ)}=\dfrac{680}{\sin X}

900\sin X=680\sin (157^\circ)

\sin X=\dfrac{680}{900}\sin (157^\circ)

\sin X=0.295219

X=\sin^{-1}(0.295219)

X=17.17067

X\approx 17

Therefore, the value of ∠X is 17 degrees.

Assume you have sea water that weighs 64 lb/ft³ and contains 35 parts per thousand (0.0035) dissolved salt by weight. How many c
zlopas [31]

Answer:

558.036 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the amount of the sea water to collect 125 lb of sea salt

As given: 64 lb/ft³ has 0.0035 dissolved salt by weight

So the formula to find out the amount of the sea water is:

64 lb/ft³ * 0.0035 *x ft³  = 125 lb

<=> x = \frac{125}{64*0.035} = 558.036 lb

Hope it will find you well.
