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>

If n represents a number then write an expression for two less than one fourth of n
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:  \frac{1}{4}n-2

This is the same as \frac{n}{4} - 2 and it is also equivalent to 0.25n-2

=====================================================

Explanation:

n is some placeholder for a number

one fourth of that number is \frac{1}{4}n which is the same as \frac{n}{4} or 0.25n since 1/4 = 0.25

From here, we subtract off 2 to get \frac{1}{4}n-2 as one possible final answer.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

D. f(x)=4x^{2}+1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a translation 1 point up along the y axis and a compression of 4.

Moving a function up (let's use <em>h</em> for the amount of points up) would change the function as so:

f(x)=x^{2} +h

Meanwhile, the compression would modify x in this case. You can eliminate any answers (A. and B.) that have no modification to x, and eliminate C., as a fraction modification would actually widen the graph instead of compress it.

Hope this helps! :]
