To find f(1) it might be a good idea to see what the problem is actually telling us.  if f(3) = 9... if we put that into the original function that means that
f(3 + 1) = 1/2f(3) so f(4) = 1/2f(3) since f(3)=9 then f(4) = 4.5... so it is one half of f(3)... now to get to f(1) you need to do the opposite.  f(2) will be twice f(3) and so on.
f(4) = 4.5
f(3) = 9
f(2) = 18
f(1) = 36

so f(1) = 36

A dairy wishes to mix together 1,000 pints of milk that contains 8% butterfat. if the mixture is to be made from milk containing
cricket20 [7]
We can write the question as a mathematical formula as follows:  
1000 * 0.08 = m * 0.05 + c * 0.2
 1000 = m + c  
where m are pints of milk and c are pints of cream 
 So solving the first equation with m = 1000 - c
 1000*0.08 = (1000-c)*0.05 + c*0.2
 80 = 50 - 0.05c + 0.2c
 80-50 = (0.2-0.05)*c
 30 = 0.15*c
 c = 30/0.15
 c = 200 
 m = 1000-200 = 800 
 So the dairy needs 800 pints of milk and 200 pints of cream
