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

Answer:

C. c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the Pythagorean theorem:

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 36 + 64

c² = 100

c = √100

c = 10

Pls help in this aaaaaa

The question is incorrect. X is not defined UNLESS the hexagon is a regular hexagon, which means that all sides are equal (given) AND all angles are equal (not given).

Error in question aside, and  ASSUMING the hexagon is regular, you can apply the principle that
1. the sum of exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360.
2. the sum of exterior angles and interior angles at EACH vertex is 180.
3. Multiply sum from (2) above by the number of vertices and subtract 360 gives the sum of the interior angles.
4. IF the polygon is regular (all angles equal), then each interior angle equals the result from (3) divided by n, the number of vertices.

Example for a regular heptagon (7 sides, 7 verfices).
1. Sum of exterior angles = 360
2. sum of interior and exterior angles at EACH vertex=180
3. multiply 180 by 7, subtract 360
180*7-360=900
4. since heptagon is regular, each interior angle equals 900/7=128.57 deg.
