Answer: Multiplying the number by 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay took a number, n, and increased it by 25%. The value gotten will be:

= n + (25% × n)

= n + (0.25 × n)

= n + 0.25n

= 1.25n

After that, Then, he doubled the resulting product. The value now gotten will be:

= 2 × 1.25n

= 2.50n

Therefore, the equivalent will be multiplying the number by 2.5. This will be:

= n × 2.5

= 2.5n

Therefore, it's thesame with the value gotten.

The correct option is D.

A sequence is defined recursively using the formula f(n + 1) = -0.5f(n). If the first term of the sequence is 120, what is f(5)?
PolarNik [594]

Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula tells us that the next term f(n+1) of the sequence is -0.5 times the previous term f(n)

First term of the sequence is f(1) = 120

Second term of the sequence is f(2) = f(1+1) = -0.5 f(1) = -0.5 (120) = -60

Third term of the sequence is f(3) = f(2+1) = -0.5 f(2) = -0.5 (-60) = 30

Fourth term of the sequence is f(4) = f(3+1) = -0.5 f(3) = -0.5 (30) = -15

Fifth term of the sequence is f(5) = f(4+1) = -0.5 f(4) = -0.5 (-15) = <em>7.5</em>
