Answer:

f(1) = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

given is f(n + 1) = 1/3f(n)

f(3) = 9

ayou need to find f(0) before you can answer what is f(1).

Just start by applying for...

n=0

f(0+1) = 1/3 * f(0)

f(1) = 1/3 * f(0)

n=1

f(1+1) = 1/3 * 1/3*f(0)

f(2) = 1/9 * f(0)

n=2

f(2+1) = 1/3 * 1/9* f(0)

f(3) = 1/27 * f(0)

But it is given that f(3) = 9 so substitute this in the line above to calculate the value of f(0)....

9 = 1/27 * f(0)

Multiply left and right of the = sing by 27 gives

f(0) = 27 * 9

f(0) = 243

We already know this next line because we started with n=0

f(1) = 1/3 * f(0)

Substitute f(0) = 243 in the line above to finally calculate the value of f(1).

f(1) = 1/3 * 243

f(1) = 81

If a picnic area is located at the midpoint between Sacramento and Oakland, find the distance to the picnic area from the road s
Oxana [17]
First, think this through. If you are 23 miles from Sacramento, and 110 miles from Oakland (I am assuming it is miles since you didn't specify *cough cough*) then the two cities are 133 miles apart (also assuming you are in between them)
23miles + 110miles = 133miles
so, we use the midpoint formula to find our position
\frac{distance}{ 2}
and get 66.5 miles from both Sacramento and Oakland.

Next, we already know the sign is 23 miles away from Sacramento so we can use that distance and our position to figure out how far away the sign is. We use absolute values because distance is always positive.
|our \: position - distance \: of \: sign|

so we get
|66.5miles - 23miles|  = 43.5miles
to double check, use the sign's distance from Oakland.
|66.5miles - 110miles|  = 43.5miles
so, we are 43.5 miles from the sign!

hope this helps
