Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice. 

It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.

Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000

Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.

What are the first three terms of the sequence modeled by the recursive function an=1/2an-1 when a1=1?
loris [4]

Answer:

Option A is correct that is 1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a formula a_n=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_n-1

a_1=1

We will put values of n in a_n=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_n-1

when n=2 we get

a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_2-1

\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_1

\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1

\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}

when n=3

a_3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_2

\Rightarrow a_3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}

\Rightarrow a_3=\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, Option A is correct that is 1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4}
