Answer:

: the graph has an initial value of 60, and each successive term is determined by multiplying by 1/3

Explanation:

f(xequal 6 [1/nitial value x=0, f(x) = 60*[1/3]^0 = 60*1 = 60x=1 ⇒f(1) = 60*[1/3]x=2 f(2) = 60*[1/3]^2 = f(1) * [1/3]x = n f(n) = 60*[1/3]^n=60*[1/3]^(n-1)*[1/3] = f(n-1)*[1/3]
