Write the first terms of the sequence with

Question

F(1)=3 and f(n)=f(n-1)+2 for n>2

Answer 1

Hi Adriana,

Given that: f(1)=3 and f(n)=f(n-1)+2 for n>2

We already know what f(1) is so lets use that to determine f(2) So f(2)=f(2-1)+2 , and f(2)=f(1)+2, f(2)=5

We now have the first couple of terms, additional terms can be calculated from the recursion formula

f(1)=3

f(2)=5

f(3)=7

f(4)=9 and so on

Got it?
