F(1) = 160 is given to us. We'll use it to find f(2)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(1+1) = -2*f(1) ... replace every n with 1
f(1+1) = -2*160 ... replace f(1) with 160
f(2) = -320
Now use f(2) to find f(3)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(2+1) = -2*f(2) ... replace every n with 2
f(3) = -2*(-320) ... replace f(2) with -320
f(3) = 640
Finally, use f(3) to find f(4)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(3+1) = -2*f(3) ... replace every n with 3
f(4) = -2*640 ... replace f(3) with 640
f(4) = -1280
Final Answer: -1280
You have to find out what 15% of $78 dollars is. If you have to do this in your head and not on a calculator you can find 10%, then cut that number in 1/2 and add it to the answer. So 10% of $78 is 7.8 so $7.80. You can divide 7.80 by 2 and get 3.9 and add that to 7.8 which is 11.70. So 15% of $78 is $11.70.
As determined by the graph, f(-9) = 9
Let's take the percentage as x
(x / 100) * 5 = 0.35
x / 100 = 0.07
x = 7
therefore the percentage is 7%
