Answer:
4: 3 1/4 inches
5: 13 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that f(1) = -1.5, and that f(n+1) = -2f(n).
Then: f(2) = -2f(1) = -2(-1.5) = +3 (answer)
Answer:
18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll find out how much of the total container was lost when pouring out by subtracting 2/3 from 1/2.
2/3 = 4/6
1/2 = 3/6
4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6
1/6 of the total amount the container could hold was lost when 3 gallons was poured out. This means that 1/6 of the container equals to 3 gallons. We can then simply multiply 3 by 6 to find the number of gallons of liquid the container can hold.
3 * 6 = 18 gallons
Checking my answer:
18 * 2/3 = 6 * 2 = 12
12 - 3 = 9
1/2 of 18 = 9
This means that our answer is correct.
