Answer:
f(4)=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1)=2
f(n)=f(n-1)^2-n
If n=2
f(2)=f(2-1)^2-2
f(2)=f(1)^2-2
f(2)=2^2-2
f(2)=4-2
f(2)=2
If n=3
f(3)=f(3-1)^2 - 3
f(3)=f(2)^2 - 3
f(3)=2^2-3
f(3)=4-3
f(3)=1
if n=4
f(4)=f(4-1)^2 - 4
f(4)=f(3)^2 - 4
f(4)=1^2 - 4
f(4)=1-4
f(4)=-3
The answer is 370 because you need to work it out.
Basically what I did was look at the first number, 12, and the answer to the equation and saw that 12 x 10 would be 120. And 360 + 10 would be 370.
It fits in perfectly.
12(370 - 360) = 120
370 - 360 = 10
12(10) = 120
So x = 370
Since Zack wants to sell his car for 60% off the current price of $500, he has to multiply 0.60 (60% in decimal form) by $500, which equals $300. Now, the next step is very important. He has to subtract $500 from $300 since $300 is the amount OFF. Once he does that, he will get $200.
