Answer: The recursive function that gives the number of books Ashley has at any time is
100-nx , starting at x=1.

Explanation:

Given: Ashley has 100 books that she wants to give away at the rate of n books per week.

Let 'x' denotes the number of weeks .

The number of books Ashley gave after 'x' weeks will be :-


n* x=nx

The number of books Ashley has after 'x' weeks will be :-


\text{Total number of books - Books she gave}\\\\=100-nx

Hence, the recursive function that gives the number of books Ashley has at any time is
100-nx , starting at x=1.
