Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula tells us that the next term f(n+1) of the sequence is -0.5 times the previous term f(n)

First term of the sequence is f(1) = 120

Second term of the sequence is f(2) = f(1+1) = -0.5 f(1) = -0.5 (120) = -60

Third term of the sequence is f(3) = f(2+1) = -0.5 f(2) = -0.5 (-60) = 30

Fourth term of the sequence is f(4) = f(3+1) = -0.5 f(3) = -0.5 (30) = -15

Fifth term of the sequence is f(5) = f(4+1) = -0.5 f(4) = -0.5 (-15) = <em>7.5</em>

What is the equation in slope intercept form?
patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1/3. For lines to be perpendicular there product must equal negative 1

m1(m2)=-1

-m/3=-1

m=3

So we know our line has a slope of three so

y=3x+b, we can solve for the y intercept, b, using point (-2,8)

8=3(-2)+b

8=-6+b

b=14, so our line is

y=3x+14
