f(1) = 4 is given

f(n) = f(n-1)-4 is the recursive step or rule

f(2) = f(2-1)-4 ... replace n with 2

f(2) = f(1) - 4

f(2) = 4-4 ... replace f(1) with 4

f(2) = 0

----------

Repeat for n = 3

f(n) = f(n-1)-4

f(3) = f(3-1)-4

f(3) = f(2) - 4

f(3) = 0 - 4 .... replace f(2) with 0, which is from f(2) = 0 found earlier

f(3) = -4

---------

Repeat for n = 4

f(n) = f(n-1)-4

f(4) = f(4-1)-4

f(4) = f(3) - 4

f(4) = -4-4 ... plug in f(3) = -4

f(4) = -8

<h3>Answer is   -8</h3>

The basketball team at Martin Luther King High School won 12 of its first 15 games. Then it won its next 3 games. The percent of
aliya0001 [1]
12/15 games have been won then they won 3 which makes it then 15/18 because the denominator is how many games they've played while the numerator is how many games they one.

\frac{15}{18} =  \frac{x}{100}
Cross multiply both...
1500=18x
divide each side by 18 to make the x by itself
Which gives you x=83.333%

PLS HELP ASAP !!!! Giving brainlist!
Mice21 [21]

First one (on the left) is 2) associative property because we are regrouping terms or re-associating them based on the parenthesis. Think of the parenthesis like a tent or a house that separates off the stuff outside. First 27 and 36 are grouped, then we move the parenthesis so that 52 and 27 are grouped now.

Second one (on the right) is 1) commutative. The commutative multiplication property says we can multiply two numbers in any order. For example, 4*9 = 36 and 9*4 = 36. The 4 and 9 swap places. In this problem, the 3 and 4x swap places. The use of parenthesis isn't necessary, though it is sometimes used to imply multiplication.

Chase use 1/6 cup of bananas for every 2/3 cup of apples to make a smoothie. Enter the number of cups of bananas Vhase uses for
Reika [66]

Answer:

1/4 cup of bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 cup of bananas = 2/3 cup of apples

1/6 cup of bananas = 4/6 cup of apples

1/24 (1/6 ÷ 4 since 4/6 cup of apples is 4 units and we need 1 unit) cup of bananas = 1/6 cup of apples

1 cup of apples = 1/4 (1/24 x 6 for 6 units) cup of bananas
