Answer: the original price of the skirt is $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the skirt. if the original price of the blouse is 18, then the original price of the skirt and blouse is (x + 18)

Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4of their original price. It means that the amount at which she bought the skirt and blouse is

0.75(x + 18)

Applying the distributive property, it becomes

0.75x + 13.5

Jade pays a total of 31.50 for the two items. It means that

0.75x + 13.5 = 31.5

0.75x = 31.5 - 13.5

0.75x = 18

x = 18/0.75

x = $24

If f(1) = 10 and f(n) = f(n = 1) – 4 then find the value of f(5).

svetoff [14.1K]

Given:

$f(1)=10$ and $f(n)=f(n-1)-4$ .

To find:

The value of f(5).

Solution:

We have,

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

For $n=2$ ,

$f(2)=f(2-1)-4$

$f(2)=f(1)-4$

$f(2)=10-4$

$f(2)=6$

For $n=3$ ,

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

$f(3)=f(2)-4$

$f(3)=6-4$

$f(3)=2$

For $n=4$ ,

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

$f(4)=f(3)-4$

$f(4)=2-4$

$f(4)=-2$

For $n=5$ ,

$f(5)=f(5-1)-4$

$f(5)=f(4)-4$

$f(5)=-2-4$

$f(5)=-6$

Therefore, the value of $f(5)$ is $-6$ .

Answer:

The statements that are true are:

1.575 was the coffee yield , in thousands of kilograms,before the honeybees were introduced.

1.16 represents the growth factor that reveals the rate at which the coffee yield increases.

2 is the number of times the coffee yield was compounded per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function that models The coffee yield, in thousands of kilograms, t years after the introduction of the honeybees.

Also, the coffee yield increases according to a model where the exponential change is compounded semiannually .

The function is given by:

$f(t)=1.575(1.16)^{2t}$

Here when t=0, i.e. before the honeybees were introduced we have:

$f(0)=1.575$

Also, the rate of increase i.e. the growth rate is denoted by : 1.16

Also, 2 represents the number of times the coffee yield is compounded per year.
