If f(1) = 1 and f(n) = f(n - 1) - 5 then find the value of f(5) .

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 1

Substitute f(1) = 1

f(2) = f(2-1) -5

= f(1) - 5

+ (1) - 5

f(2) = -4

Substitute f(2) = -4

f(3) = f(3-1) -5

= f(2) -5

= (-4) -5

f(3) = -9

Substitute f(3) = -9

f(4) = f(4-1) - 5

= f(3) -5

= (-9) -5

f(4) = -14

Substitute f(4) = -14

f(5) = f(5-1) -5

= f(4) -5

= (-14) -5

f(5) = -19

Common difference of -5

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.

the answer is 1 becuz if it were 1.0 that would rip apart the entire so ya. : )
