To find f(5), you need to know f(4), to know f(4), you need to find f(3), to know f(3), you need to know f(2)
<span>Use the recursive formula f(n+1)=f(n)-2,
</span>f(2)=f(1)-2, and f(1)=18 is given, so f(2)=18-2=16
f(3)=f(2)-2=16-2=14
f(4)=12
f(5)=10

another way to do it is using the formula: the nth term=the first term +d(n-1)
d represents the difference, which is -2 in this case
so f(5)=f(1)-2(5-1)
f(5)=18-8=10

X is inversely proportional to y, and x = 18 when y = 4. Write an equation relating the two
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

xy=72

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is inversely porportionaly to y, then for some constant k,

x = \frac{k}{y}\\xy=k

Since y is 4 when x = 18, k is equal to 4*18=72, so the equation is:

xy=72

9y^2-6y+1=0<br> FIND Y PLEASE HELP STEP BY STEP
dlinn [17]

Answer:

y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Factor</u>

9y^2 - 6y + 1 = 0

(3y - 1)(3y - 1) = 0

(3y - 1)^2 = 0

<u>Step 2:  Solve for y</u>

3y - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

3y / 3 = 1 / 3

y = 1/3

Answer: y = 1/3
