I found my notes for this exact paper and I have that first problem written. hopefully this helps
Well each piece of the whole is what made the whole... so in that case each piece is little 1/4's of the whole....
Nope. Your problem is not irrational
Answer:
y=-4 or y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
y^2-14y+49=2y^2-4y+73
y^2+10y+24=0
(y+4)(y+6)=0
y=-4 or y=-6
We know the first term is 16, because f(1) = 16. Next, we can use the recursive rule provided. f(3)=1/2*f(3-1). This gives us f(3)=1/2*f(2). We know f(2) is 8. We know have f(3)=1/2*8. This is 4.
The answer is 16, 4.
