Hey, I got a good problem!

Okay, so it's tables, and there are some rules.

There is a max number. That number is represented by M. M will always output (in the formula) to 0.05. 1 will always output to 0.5. Now, I need you to find me the formula to make it work. Now, M can be substituted for anything, really. So M has to be included into the formula. An example would be this.

M = 10

I = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, M}
O = { .5, .45, .4, .35, .3, .25, .2, .15, .1, .05}

Bump. You guys are my last resort. This challenge is impossible (to me). If you guys can do it, I'll grant you one wish.

O(I) = 0.5-0.45*(I-1)/(M-1)
Obviously, works only form M>1

M is a variable. It can represent any number above 0

I am confused. Is M a variable, or a specific number?

>> No.4004461

>>4004455

so you're looking for f(x) where

f(1) = .5

and f(M) = .05, when M != 1

correct?

>> No.4004504

It increments down by 0.05, with a[0] always 1/2.

M = 10
For any value x of the table
i = (M-1) - x
O = 1/2 -0.05*i

ex: x = 6
3 = (10 -1) - 6
O = 1/2 -0.05*3
O = 0.35

(1-((n-1)/10)/2
