F(n+1)=f(n)-5. If f(1)=100, what is f(6)

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(1) = 100

f(n+1) = f(n) - 5

Solve for:

f(6)

Solution:

f(1) = 100

f(2) = f(1) - 5 = 100 - 5 = 100 - 1 x 5 = f(1) - 1 x 5

f(3) = f(2) - 5 = 100 - 5 - 5 = 100 - 2 x 5 = f(1) - 2 x 5

...

f(n) = f(n - 1) - 5 = 100 - (n-1) x 5 = f(1) - (n-1) x 5

=> f(6) = f(1) - (6-1) x 5 = 100 - 5 x 5 = 100 - 25 = 75

Hope this helps!

I dont understand how to do this precalc question

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

x-intercept: (-0.1, 0)
Horizontal Asymptote: y = -3
Exponential growth

(First answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of an exponential function

$y=ab^x+c$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept).
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form:
If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.
y=c is the horizontal asymptote.
x is the independent variable.
y is the dependent variable.

Given exponential function:

$y=4(10)^x-3$

<h3>x-intercept</h3>

The x-intercept is the point at which the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0. To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into the given equation and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}& \textsf{Set the function to zero}:& 4(10)^x-3 &=0\\\\& \textsf{Add 3 to both sides}:& 4(10)^x &=3\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by 4}:& 10^x &=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\& \textsf{Take natural logs of both sides}:& \ln 10^x &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Apply the power log law}:&x \ln 10 &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by }\ln 10:&x&=\dfrac{\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}{\ln 10} \\\\& \textsf{Simplify}:&x&=-0.1\:\:\sf(1\:d.p.)\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-0.1, 0) to the nearest tenth.

<h3>Asymptote</h3>

An asymptote is a line that the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.

The parent function of an exponential function is:

$f(x)=b^x$

As x approaches -∞ the function f(x) approaches zero, and as x approaches ∞ the function f(x) approaches ∞.

Therefore, there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

This means that a function in the form $f(x) = ab^x+c$ always has a horizontal asymptote at y = c.

Therefore, the horizontal asymptote of the given function is y = -3.

<h3>Exponential Growth and Decay</h3>

A graph representing exponential growth will have a curve that shows an increase in y as x increases.

A graph representing exponential decay will have a curve that shows a decrease in y as x increases.

The part of an exponential function that shows the growth/decay factor is the base (b).

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.

The base of the given function is 10 and so this confirms that the function is increasing since 10 > 1.
