Answer:

B) -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.

Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.

Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.

A sequence is defined by the formula f(n + 1) = f(n) – 3. If f(4) = 22, what is f(1)?
julsineya [31]

f(n) = f(n+1) +3

f(1) = f(2) +3

f(2) =f(3) +3

f(3) = f(4) +3

So f(1) = f(n) + 3* (n-1)

Put n=4 here so you found

f(1) = f(4) + 3* 3

= 22 +9

=31 ans
