Answer:

The 4 t h term is   f(4)   = 143

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Explanation</em>:-

Given  function f(1) = -4

Given 'nth' term is  f(n) = -3f(n-1) +5

Put n =2         <em> f(2) = -3 f(2-1) +5</em>

                             = -3 f(1) +5

                             = -3 (-4) +5

                             = 12 +5

                       f(2) = 17

put n= 3      

                         f(n) = -3f(n-1) +5  

                      <em>   f(3) = -3 f(3-1) +5</em>

                            = -3f(2) +5

                           = -3(17) +5

                           = -51+5

                      f(3) = -46

Put n=4

                  f(n) = -3f(n-1) +5

               <em>  f(4)  = -3f(4-1) +5</em>

<em>                  f(4)  = -3f(3)+5</em>

                f(4)   = -3(-46)+5

                f(4)   = 138 +5

                f(4)   = 143

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

<em>The 4 t h term is   f(4)   = 143</em>

The answer to #2?? I already have the graph but I still need the answer
Sidana [21]
If we have 

y = 6x + 1 and x - y = 11, we can take advantage of  y - y = 0 as follows:
                                         Subtract x from both sides of the 2nd equation:
                                         -y = 11 - x

Now combine 

 y = 6x + 1
-y = 11 - x
--------------
0 = 5x + 12.  Solving for x, x = -12/5.     Using the equation above, find y:
                                                               -y = 11 - x
                                                                   = 11 - (-12/5)
                                                                   = 55/5 + 12/5 = 67/5

Then the solution is (-12.5, 67/5).

Let's reduce to its simplest form:

-3/5 + (-8/2) =

Step 1: Lowest Common Denominator (10):

- 6/10 + (-40/10) =

Step 2: Solve the parentheses:

- 6/10 - 40/10 =

Step 3: Subtract the fractions:

-46/10

Step 4: Simplify (Dividing by 2):

-23/5

Step 5: Converting the fraction to mixed number:

-4 3/5
