Answer:

1. Proved down

2. proved down

3. f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us explain how to solve the question

∵ f(0) = -20, f(n) = f(n - 1) - 5 for n > 1

→ That means we have an arithmetic sequence with constant

   difference -5 and first term -20

1. → f(1) means we need to find the second term, which equal the

      term - 5

∵ f(1) means n = 1

∴ f(1) = f(1 - 1) - 5

∴ f(1) = f(0) - 5

∵ f(0) = -20

∴ f(1) = -20 - 5 → Proved

2. → f(3) means we need to find the third term, which equal the

   second term - 5

∵ f(3) means n = 3

∴ f(3) = f(3 - 1) - 5

∴ f(3) = f(2) - 5

→ f(2) = f(1) - 5

∵ f(1) = -20 - 5

∴ f(2) = [-20 - 5] - 5 = -20 - 5 - 5

∴ f(3) = [-20 - 5 - 5] - 5

∴ f(3) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved

3. → From 1 and 2 we notice that the number of -5 is equal to n,

      at n = 1 there is one (-5), when n= 3 there are three (-5)

∵ n = 10

∴ There are ten (-5)

∴ f(10) = -20 - 5(10)

∴ f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved

name a transformation that does not always produce an image that would be congruent to the original figure

A dilation is the best answer. A dilation shrinks or expands the shape on a plane. But now, that shape is the same shape, but a different size.
Congratulations! You have discovered simillar figures. They are the same shape, but different sizes, so they are not congruent.
Hope this helps

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

(a) X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=5-0.5*t

(b) X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=1+0.5*t

(c) At 4 weeks, when both will be seeing an average of 3 hours of TV.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For the students, they start at X(0)=5 h and ΔX=-0.5 h/week.

We can write

X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=5-0.5*t

b) For the professors, they start at X(0)=1 h and ΔX=+0.5 h/week.

We can write

X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=1+0.5*t

c) The seew which they will be watching the same amount of hours will be the 4th week.

X(t)=5-0.5*t=1+0.5*t\\\\5-1=(0.5+0.5)*t\\\\t=4\, weeks

The amount of hours will be

x(4)=1+0.5*4=1+2=3\,hours
