Given:

f(1)=10 and f(n)=f(n-1)-4.

To find:

The value of f(5).

Solution:

We have,

f(n)=f(n-1)-4

For n=2,

f(2)=f(2-1)-4

f(2)=f(1)-4

f(2)=10-4

f(2)=6

For n=3,

f(3)=f(3-1)-4

f(3)=f(2)-4

f(3)=6-4

f(3)=2

For n=4,

f(4)=f(4-1)-4

f(4)=f(3)-4

f(4)=2-4

f(4)=-2

For n=5,

f(5)=f(5-1)-4

f(5)=f(4)-4

f(5)=-2-4

f(5)=-6

Therefore, the value of f(5) is -6.

an employee adds 160 fluid ounces of chemical to a feature that holds 120,000 gallons of water. did the employee add yhe correct
Hitman42 [59]
We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.

A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.

In 2000, the total population of the U.S. was 281.4 million people. In 2010, it was 308.7 million people. What is the average ra
kifflom [539]

Answer:

2.73 million people per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn sentences into coordinates/points:

In 2000, 281.4 million people

  • (x₁, y₁) = (2000, 281.4)

In 2010, 308.7 million people

  • (x₂, y₂) = (2010, 308.7)

Rate of population per year:

\sf \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \  where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points

\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{308.7-281.4}{2010-2000}

\rightarrow \sf 2.73 \ million \ people

A cylinder has a volume of 198 and base has an area of 22 what is the height o the cylinder
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the cylinder is in the shape of a circle:

Area of the base=\pi *r^2

For Base area=22 square units

22=\pi *r^2

      22=3.14*r^2\\r^2=22/3.14\\r^2=7.01\\r=\sqrt{7.01}

Volume of the cylinder=\pi *r^2*h

For volume '198 cubic units' the height(h) is:

       198=\pi *r^2*h

       198=3.14*(\sqrt{7.01})^2*h

         198=3.14*7.01*h\\\\198=22.01*h\\\\198/22.01=h\\\\h=9 units\\

1 divided by 3
\frac{1}{3}
Turn fraction into decimal

Since it is repeating, and it's a 3, you don't need to round it up
The rule is 5+ = round up while 4- = round down.
