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

Determine whether or not the given value is a solution for the equation. Answer Yes or No
igor_vitrenko [27]
Y=24 is a solution for the equation.

y/12=2 is solved by multiplying both sides by 12 to get y by itself. so you'd end up multiplying 2 • 12 which equals 24.

The measure of the second angle of a triangle is twice as large as the measure of the first measure of the third angle is 30° le
Alex777 [14]

Applying the triangle sum theorem, we have:

First angle measure = 35°

Second angle = 70°

Third angle = 75°

<h3>What is the Triangle Sum Theorem?</h3>

According to the triangle sum theorem, all angles in a triangle will give a sum of 180 degrees.

First angle measure = x

Second angle = 2x

Third angle = (2x + x) - 30 = 3x - 30

x + 2x + 3x - 30 = 180 [triangle sum theorem]

6x - 30 = 180

6x = 180 + 30

6x = 210

x = 210/6

x = 35

First angle measure = x = 35°

Second angle = 2x = 2(35) = 70°

Third angle = 3x - 30 = 3(35) - 30 = 75°
