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>

Find the value of x.<br> A) 55<br> B) 60<br> C) 70<br> D) 125
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has 2 equal sides and is therefore isosceles.

The base angles are equal, both 55°

To find x subtract the sum of the 2 angles from 180

x = 180° - (55 + 55)° = 180° - 110° = 70°
