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>

Find the distance between the points (1,8) and (9, 2).
grin007 [14]

Answer:

distance = \sqrt{(x_{1} -x_{2})^2+(y_{1} -y_{2})^2  }\\\\

             =\sqrt{(9-1)^2+(2-8)^2  }\\\\=\sqrt{8^2 + 6^2}\\\\=\sqrt{64 +36 }\\\\=\sqrt{100} = 10units
