Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-values 5, 3, 1 form an arithmetic sequence. The y-values will do the same: 1, 2, a = 1, 2, 3 -- a common difference of +1.

a = 3

A sequence is defined by the recursive formula f(n+1)=f(n)-2. If f(1)=18, what is f(5)?

N76 [4]

Answer:

$f(5)=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is defined by the recursive formula $f(n+1)=f(n)-2$

If $f(1)=18,$ then

for $n=1: f(2)=f(1+1)=f(1)-2=18-2=16$

for $n=2: f(3)=f(2+1)=f(2)-2=16-2=14$

for $n=3: f(4)=f(3+1)=f(3)-2=14-2=12$

for $n=4: f(5)=f(4+1)=f(4)-2=12-2=10$
