Understand Recursive Function: To solve the problem, we need to understand the recursive function given. The function f(n) is defined such that the value of f(n) is the product of n and the value of f at n−1, i.e., f(n−1). The base case is given as f(1)=15.
Calculate f(2): Let's calculate the value of f(2) using the recursive formula. According to the formula, f(2)=f(2−1)×2=f(1)×2. We know that f(1)=15, so f(2)=15×2=30.
Calculate f(3): Next, we calculate the value of f(3). Using the recursive formula, f(3)=f(3−1)×3=f(2)×3. We found that f(2)=30, so f(3)=30×3=90.
Calculate f(4): To find the value of f(4), we use the recursive formula again: f(4)=f(4−1)×4=f(3)×4. We have already calculated f(3)=90, so f(4)=90×4=360.
Continue Recursive Process: The pattern is clear, and we can continue this process to find f(n) for any positive integer n. However, without a specific value of n, we cannot calculate an exact value for f(n). We can only describe the process.
