Base Case: We are given the initial value of the sequence:d(1)=13This is our base case for the recursive sequence.
Recursive Formula: We are also given the recursive formula:d(n)=d(n−1)+17This means that to find the value of d(n), we need to add 17 to the value of d(n−1).
Find d(2): To find d(2), we use the recursive formula with n=2: d(2)=d(1)+17 Now we substitute the known value of d(1): d(2)=13+17 d(2)=30
Find d(3): To find d(3), we use the recursive formula with n=3: d(3)=d(2)+17 We substitute the known value of d(2): d(3)=30+17 d(3)=47
Find d(4): To find d(4), we use the recursive formula with n=4: d(4)=d(3)+17 We substitute the known value of d(3): d(4)=47+17 d(4)=64
Find d(5): Finally, to find d(5), we use the recursive formula with n=5: d(5)=d(4)+17 We substitute the known value of d(4): d(5)=64+17 d(5)=81
