We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that    x - y = 0.7   and    x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us   2x = 1.7,    and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use   x + y = 1.
So now we have    0.85 + y = 1,    so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).

Hope this helps!

Given the recursive formula shown, what are the first 4 terms of the sequence?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

B. 5, 20, 80, 320.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 5

After the first rem, each term id 4 times the previous term,  so:

f(2) = 4f(1) = 4*5 = 20.

f(3) = 4f(2) = *20 = 80

f(4) = 4(f3) = 4*80 = 320.
