<h3>Answer: Choice C) 31</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

The recursive rule

f(n+1)=f(n)-3

can be rearranged to

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

after adding 3 to both sides

----------------

Now let's say we plug in n = 3

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(3) = f(3+1)+3

f(3) = f(4)+3

f(3) = 22+3

f(3) = 25

Repeat for n = 2

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(2) = f(2+1)+3

f(2) = f(3)+3

f(2) = 25+3

f(2) = 28

Each time we keep adding 3 to get the previous term (since the original recursive rule says to subtract 3 to get the next term; we just go backwards of what the instructions say).

Lastly, we can find that f(1) = f(2)+3 = 28+3 = 31 making the answer to be choice C.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation.

First I would use sine to find x's value. So ----> sin(30) = 7/x ----> x sin(30) = 7 ----> x = 7/sin(30) = 14.

You Can also find that x is equal to 14 by applying the 30, 60, 90, triangle rule. Becuase '7' opposes the 30 degree angle it is 1/2 the hypotenuse, if thats the case just multiply the 7 by 2 and you have the hypotenuse length.
