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

Each side of an equilateral triangle measure 11 centimeters. To the nearest tenth of an centimeter, what is the length of the al
Orlov [11]
The length of the altitude is 9.5 cm.

The altitude bisects the base of the equilateral triangle (this is because the two sides emerging from the vertex are equal).  This gives us a right triangle with leg 5.5 and hypotenuse 11.  We use the Pythagorean theorem:

5.5² + h² = 11²
30.25 + h² = 121

Subtract 30.25 from both sides:
30.25 + h² - 30.25 = 121 - 30.25
h² = 90.75

Take the square root of both sides:
√h² = √90.75
h = 9.5
