Answer: He sold 10 pounds of cashews .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of walnuts = $4.00 a pound

Selling price of cashews = $7.00 a pound

Number of pounds of walnuts = 10

Let number of pounds of cashew be x

Total price at which he sold a mixture = $5.50

According to question,

10\times 4+x\times 7=(10+x)\times 5.50\\\\40+7x=55+5.5x\\\\7x-5.5x=55-40\\\\1.5x=15\\\\x=\frac{15}{1.5}\\\\x=10

Hence, he sold 10 pounds of cashews .

If f(1) = 160 and f(n + 1) = –2f(n), what is f(4)?

Answer:

-1280

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you could do this. You could just do the question until you come to the end of f(4). That is likely the simplest way to do it.

f(1) = 160

f(2) = - 2 * f(1)

f(2) = -2*160

f(2) = -320

f(3) = -2 * f(2)

f(3) = -2 * - 320

f(3) = 640

f(4) = - 2 * f(3)

f(4) = - 2 * 640

f(4) = - 1280

I don't know that you could do this explicitly with any real confidence.
