Need to find the five terms of the sequence.
Given recursive rule is f(x) = f(x-1) -7
Substituting x = 2 , f(2) = f(2-1)-7
= f(2) = f(1) – 7 ------(1)
Also given that f(2) = 12.
On substituting the given value of f(2) in eq (1) we get
12 = f(1) – 7
f(1) = 12 + 7 = 19
Using given recursive rule and given value of f(2) calculating f(3)
Substituting x = 3 ,
f(3) = f(3-1) – 7
= f(2) – 7
= 12 – 7
= 5
Using given recursive rule and calculated value of f(3) calculating f(4)
Substituting x = 4,
f(4) = f(4-1) – 7
= f(3) – 7
= 5– 7
= -2
Using given recursive rule and calculated value of f(4) calculating f(5)
Substituting x = 5,
f(5) = f(5-1) – 7
= f(4) – 7
= -2– 7
= -9
Hence required five terms of sequence are 19 , 12 , 5 , -2 and -9 .
5^2 = 25
3^0 = 1 (anything that is exponented by 0 is 1)
25 - 1 = 24
24 is your answer

No, they did not eat the same amount. Barry ate less because his sandwich was smaller, so there would be a smaller half. Jonah ate more because his sandwich was bigger, so he would have eaten a bigger half.
