8.4 is your answer to this question
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because dividing any term by the previous term gives a constant this is a geometric sequence of the form an=y^(n-1). Since each term is four times the previous term y=4 so
an=4^(n-1)
This is a strange question, and f(x) may not even exist. Why do I say that? Well..
[1] We know that f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b). Therefore, f(0+0) = f(0) + f(0). In other words, f(0) = f(0) + f(0). Subtracting, we see, f(0) - f(0) = f(0) or 0 = f(0).
[2] So, what's the problem? We found the answer, f(0) = 0, right? Maybe, but the second rule says that f(x) is always positive. However, f(0) = 0 is not positive!
Since there is a contradiction, we must either conclude that the single value f(0) does not exist, or that the entire function f(x) does not exist.
To fix this, we could instead say that "f(x) is always nonnegative" and then we would be safe.
