If f(1) = 1 and f(n + 1) = 5f(n) + 3 then find the value of f(4).

218

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we need f(n) to calculate f(n+1), we have to calculate our values one step at a time. Starting with f(1) = 1,

f(2) = 5(f(1)) + 3 = 5(1) + 3 = 5+3 = 8

f(3) = 5(8) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43

f(4) = 5(43) + 3 = 215 + 3 = 218

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
