Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your recursive formula is ...

  a_1=2\\a_n=a_{n-1}^2-2

Using this to find a4, we get ...

  a_2=a_1^2-2=2^2-2=2\\a_3=a_2^2-2=2^2-2=2\\a_4=a_3^2-2=2^2-2=2\\\\\boxed{a_4=2}

To make a specific hair dye, a hair stylist uses a ratio of 1 1/8 oz of red tone, 3/4 oz of gray
nadezda [96]

Answer:

We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:

1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20

2 1/2x = 20

x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.
