A recursive sequence is a sequence of numbers whose values are determined by the numbers that come before them in the sequence.
We’re given a sequence whose (n + 1)-th term f(n + 1) depends on the value of the n-th term f(n), specified by the recursive rule
f(n + 1) = -4 f(n) + 3
We’re also given the 1st term in the sequence, f(1) = 1. Using this value and the recursive rule, we can find the next term f(2). (Just replace n with 1.)
For this case we have the following equation: w = F • PQ Where, w: work done F: is the force vector PQ: is the vector of the direction of movement. Rewriting the equation we have: w = || F || • || PQ || costheta Substituting values: w = (60) * (100) * (cos (45)) w = (60) * (100) * (root (2) / 2) w = 4242.640687 lb.ft Answer: The work done pushing the lawn mower is: w = 4242.6 lb.ft
