The first four-term of the sequence is found by the given equation a_{n-1} = 4a_n is given as 144, 36, 9, and 9/4.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

A sequence is a list of elements that have been ordered in a sequential manner, such that members come either before or after.

The given equation will be

\rm a_n = \dfrac{a_{n-1}}{4} \\\\a_{n-1} = 4a_n

And

a_4 = 2 \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{9}{4}

For n = 4, we have

\rm a_{4-1} = 4a_4\\\\a_3 \ \ \  = 4*\dfrac{9}{4} \\\\ a_3 \ \ \ = 9

For n = 3, we have

\rm a_{3-1} = 4a_3\\\\a_2 \ \ \  = 4*9 \\\\ a_2 \ \ \ = 36

For n = 2, we have

\rm a_{2-1} = 4a_2\\\\a_1 \ \ \  = 4*36 \\\\ a_1 \ \ \ = 144

More about the sequence link is given below.

How much of a spice that is 30% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 65% salt in order to make a spice that is
klasskru [66]
\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&amount&concentration&&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;concentrated\\&#10;amount&#10;\end{array}\\&#10;&-----&-------&-------\\&#10;\textit{30\% spice}&x&0.30&0.30x\\&#10;\textit{65\% spice}&175&0.65&(175)(0.65)\\&#10;-----&-----&-------&-------\\&#10;mixture&x+175&0.50&(x+175)(0.50)&#10;\end{array}

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on

so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)

thus  (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)

solve for "x"
