ANSWER:
y intercept = (0,-6/5)
x intercept = (-3,0)

EXPLANATION:
To find the y intercept you have to substitute the x with zero because the y intercept always lies on the y axis which means that they will always have the coordinates (0,y)
The same goes for the x intercept. To find the x intercept you have to substitute the y with zero because the x intercept always lies on the x axis which means that they will always have the coordinates (x,0)

WORKING OUT:
Given=2x+5x= -6

The y intercept)
x=0
2(0)+5y= -6
5y= -6
y = -6/5 (divide each side of the equation by t to get the y alone)
y intercept = (0,-6/5)

The x intercept)
y=0
2x+5(0)= -6
2x= -6
x = -3 (divide each side of the equation by t to get the x alone)
x intercept = (-3,0)

If f(1)=3 and f(n)=-2f(n-1)+ 1, then f(5)=

AlladinOne [14]

Our function is $f(n)=-2f(n-1)+1$ .
We want to find f(5).
Let's substitute 5 for n.
f(5) = -2f(5-1) + 1
f(5) = -2f(4) + 1
We need to know f(4).
f(4) = -2f(4-1) + 1
f(4) = -2f(3) + 1
We need to know f(3).
f(3) = -2f(3-1) + 1
f(3) = -2f(2) + 1
We need to know f(2).
f(2) = -2f(2-1) + 1
f(2) = -2f(1) + 1
We know that f(1) = 3
f(2) = -2(3) + 1
f(2) = -6 + 1
f(2) = -5
Now we can use f(2) = -5 to find f(3)...
f(3) = -2(-5) + 1
f(3) = 10 + 1
f(3) = 11
Now we can use f(3) = 11 to find f(4)...
f(4) = -2(11) + 1
f(4) = -22 + 1
f(4) = -21
Now we can use f(4) = -21 t find f(5)!
f(5) = -2(-21) + 1
f(5) = 42 + 1
f(5) = 43
