f(1) = -8, simply is a way of saying, the 1st value in the arithmetic sequence is -8.

f(n) = f(n-1) - 3, is another way of saying, following values are just, the previous minus -3.

so in short, -3 is the common difference, since that is what we're "adding" to get the new value in the sequence.

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
