Our function is

.
We want to find f(5).
Let's substitute 5 for n.
f(5) = -2f(5-1) + 1
f(5) = -2f(4) + 1
We need to know f(4).
f(4) = -2f(4-1) + 1
f(4) = -2f(3) + 1
We need to know f(3).
f(3) = -2f(3-1) + 1
f(3) = -2f(2) + 1
We need to know f(2).
f(2) = -2f(2-1) + 1
f(2) = -2f(1) + 1
We know that f(1) = 3
f(2) = -2(3) + 1
f(2) = -6 + 1
f(2) = -5
Now we can use f(2) = -5 to find f(3)...
f(3) = -2(-5) + 1
f(3) = 10 + 1
f(3) = 11
Now we can use f(3) = 11 to find f(4)...
f(4) = -2(11) + 1
f(4) = -22 + 1
f(4) = -21
Now we can use f(4) = -21 t find f(5)!
f(5) = -2(-21) + 1
f(5) = 42 + 1
f(5) = 43
Answer: 57.6m
Step-by-step explanation:
That's a lot of words that questions usually use to try to trip us up but not this time so lets pull all relevant information
199.2m= top of off shore oil rig
-9.6 m is the base of the rig
observation deck is 1/6 of the total height
helly pad is 22.8m above the observation deck
First lets try to find the total height of the rig. We can do this by adding the absolute value of the top and base of the oil rig. So 199.2 + 9.6 = 208.8m
So the total height is 208.8m now lets find the observation deck. We know the observaition is 1/6 of the total height which is 208.8m right so lets multiply. 1/6*208.8m= 34.8m
Now we know the observation deck is 34.8m high. Finally we can find the helly pad which is 22.8 m above the observation deck.
Since the observation deck is 34.8m and the helly pad is 22.8 above observation deck (34.8m) all we have to do is add so 22.8+34.8= 57.6m
So we know the total height is 208.8m
The observation deck is 34.8m
And the helly pad is 57.6m
When you distribute and combine like terms, the result is x^3-27
Answer:
3/10 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate area of a triangle we multiply height with base and then divide that by 2
2/5 × 3/2 ÷ 2 = 3/10
Answer:
0.0158 = 1.58% probability that all of them are under 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of independent events:
If three events, A, B and C are independent, the probability of all happening is the multiplication of the probabilities of each happening, that is:

The percentage of people under the age of 18 was 23.5% in New York City, 25.8% in Chicago, and 26% in Los Angeles.
This means that 
If one person is selected from each city, what is the probability that all of them are under 18?
Since the three people are independent:

0.0158 = 1.58% probability that all of them are under 18.
