A recursive sequence is a sequence of numbers whose values are determined by the numbers that come before them in the sequence.
We’re given a sequence whose (n + 1)-th term f(n + 1) depends on the value of the n-th term f(n), specified by the recursive rule
f(n + 1) = -4 f(n) + 3
We’re also given the 1st term in the sequence, f(1) = 1. Using this value and the recursive rule, we can find the next term f(2). (Just replace n with 1.)
f(1 + 1) = -4 f(1) + 3
f(2) = -4 • 1 + 3
f(2) = -1
We do the same thing to find the next term f(3) :
f(2 + 1) = -4 f(2) + 3
f(3) = -4 • (-1) + 3
f(3) = 7
One more time to find the next term f(4) :
f(3 + 1) = -4 f(3) + 3
f(4) = -4 • 7 + 3
f(4) = -25
Answer: You need to show the number line in order to get an answer.
To answer this item, we are instructed that the price of the ticket for the children is equal to x. Since, we are also given that this is 5.75 less than the price of tickets for the adults, we may express this as follows,
x = n - 5.75
n is the price of ticket for the adults. This can be calculated by transposing 5.75 to the other side of the equation,
n = x + 5.75
The answer is the third choice.
