The first three terms of sequence are 9 , 6 , 3

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given the recursive function f(n) = f(n - 1) - 3

Where f(1) = 9

To find: First three terms of sequence

Substitute n = 2 , n = 3 and n = 4 in given recursive function

When n = 2

f(n) = f(n - 1) - 3

f(2) = f(2 - 1) - 3

f(2) = f(1) - 3

f(2) = 9 - 3 = 6

f(2) = 6

Thus second term is 6

When n = 3

f(3) = f( 3 - 1) - 3

f(3) = f(2) - 3

f(3) = 6 - 3 = 3

f(3) = 3

Thus the third term is 3

When n = 4

f(4) = f( 4 - 1) - 3

f(4) = f(3) - 3

f(4) = 3 - 3

f(4) = 0

Thus the fourth term is 0

Thus first three terms of sequence are 9 , 6 , 3

Find the value of tan A
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Yellow:  \frac{8}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent = opposite \div adjacent

Opposite A = 16

Adjacent A = 30 (Not 34, since that is the hypotenuse or the longest line in the triangle)

Thus, tan A = \frac{16}{30} =\frac{8}{15}
