The complete question is
<span>-2 2/3, -5 1/3, -10 2/3, -21 1/3, -42 2/3, ... Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

a. f(x + 1) = –2f(x)
b. f(x + 1) = f(x)
c. f(x + 1) = -f(x)
d. f(x + 1) = 2f(x)

case a) </span>f(x + 1) = –2f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=-2*[-2 2/3]=5 1/3
5 1/3 is not -5 1/3
therefore
this is not the formula

case b) f(x + 1) = f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=-2 2/3
-2 2/3 is not -5 1/3
therefore
this is not the formula

case c) f(x + 1) = -f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=2 2/3
2 2/3 is not -5 1/3
therefore
this is not the formula

case d) f(x + 1) =2f(x)
for f(x)=-2 2/3
f(x+1)=2*[-2 2/3]=-5 1/3

for f(x)=-5 1/3
f(x+1)=2*[-5 1/3]=-10 2/3

for f(x)=-10 2/3
f(x+1)=2*[-10 2/3]=-21 1/3

for f(x)=-21 1/3
f(x+1)=2*[-21 1/3]=-42 2/3

therefore 
the answer is the option
d. f(x + 1) = 2f(x)

Answer:

f(x + 1) = 2f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown. Taking as x the first point, f(x)=-2 2/3, for the next point, x+1, f(x+1) = -5 1/3 = 2*(-2 2/3)  = 2f(x); taking as x the second point, f(x)=-5 1/3, for the next point, x+1, f(x+1) = -10 2/3 = 2*(-5 1/3)  = 2f(x); and so on.

A rectangular pool has a 6 ft
Fantom [35]

How more feet is the outer perimeter of the walkway than the perimeter of the pool is  48 ft

Since 6ft is the width of walkaway

Hence:

Let increase in width  be 12

Let increase in length  be  12

Now let determine How many

more feet is the outer perimeter of the walkway than the perimeter of the pool

Outer perimeter Number of feets  = 2×(12+12)

Outer perimeter Number of feets  = 2×24

Outer perimeter Number of feets  = 48 ft

Inconclusion How more feet is the outer perimeter of the walkway than the perimeter of the pool is  48 ft

in two or more complete sentences, explain how to find the interval(s) in which the function f(x) is decreasing and how interval
Irina18 [472]
The function is increasing when the slope is greater than zero and decreasing when the slope is less than zero.  Slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) or the change in y divided by the change in x.

In this case the function is decreasing when x=[-8,-5) and when x=[4,8)

So in interval notation:  x=[-8,-5)U[4,8)
