A sequence is defined by the formula f(n+1)=f(n)-3. If f(4)=22, what is f(1)? A. 10
B. 13
C. 31
D. 34

9514 1404 393

  C.  31

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive definition tells us the 4th term is 22 and the common difference is -3. This lets us write an explicit formula for the n-th term:

  f(n) = f(4) +d(n -4)

  f(n) = 22 -3(n -4) = 34 -3n

Substituting n=1 into this formula, we get ...

  f(1) = 34 -3(1) = 31

The first term is f(1) = 31.

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
