Asequence is defined recursively using the formula f(n + 1) = –0.5 f(n) . if the first term of the sequence is 120, what is f(5)?

f(5) = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found from the previous term, thus

f(2) = - 0.5 f(1) = - 0.5 × 120 = - 60

f(3) = - 0.5f(2) = - 0.5 × - 60 = 30

f(4) = - 0.5f(3) = - 0.5 × 30 = - 15

f(5) = - 0.5f(4) = - 0.5 × - 15 = 7.5

1/5^2 = 7.56/45

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
