The question did not spesify the stating value for n.
Assuming, n = 0 is the starting value.
1st term is when n = 0:
f(0) = (0)^2 - 5 = 0 - 5 = -5
2nd term: f(1) = (1)^2 - 5 = 1 - 5 = -4
3rd term: f(2) = (2)^2 - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1
4th term: f(3) = (3)^2 - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4
Therefore, the first 4 terms are: -5, -4, -1, 4.
Jake:
Mon- 4 boxes
End of the week- 3x the boxes on Mon
3 x 4 = 12
Sally:
Mon- 2 boxes
End of the week- 4x the boxes on Mon
4 x 2 = 8
12 + 8 = 20 boxes total
I believe the answer is C. It doesn't make sense to drop an object from -16 feet, and it doesn't make sense to have a -120 in the equation. It should be positive for it to come out right.
It's 2 7/12
Hope this helped!
