Full solution

Q. {f(1)=15 f(n)=f(n1)n\begin{cases} f(1)=15 \ f(n)=f(n-1) \cdot n \end{cases}
  1. Understand Recursive Function: To solve the problem, we need to understand the recursive function given. The function f(n)f(n) is defined such that the value of f(n)f(n) is the product of nn and the value of ff at n1n-1, i.e., f(n1)f(n-1). The base case is given as f(1)=15f(1) = 15.
  2. Calculate f(2)f(2): Let's calculate the value of f(2)f(2) using the recursive formula. According to the formula, f(2)=f(21)×2=f(1)×2f(2) = f(2-1) \times 2 = f(1) \times 2. We know that f(1)=15f(1) = 15, so f(2)=15×2=30f(2) = 15 \times 2 = 30.
  3. Calculate f(3)f(3): Next, we calculate the value of f(3)f(3). Using the recursive formula, f(3)=f(31)×3=f(2)×3f(3) = f(3-1) \times 3 = f(2) \times 3. We found that f(2)=30f(2) = 30, so f(3)=30×3=90f(3) = 30 \times 3 = 90.
  4. Calculate f(4)f(4): To find the value of f(4)f(4), we use the recursive formula again: f(4)=f(41)×4=f(3)×4f(4) = f(4-1) \times 4 = f(3) \times 4. We have already calculated f(3)=90f(3) = 90, so f(4)=90×4=360f(4) = 90 \times 4 = 360.
  5. Continue Recursive Process: The pattern is clear, and we can continue this process to find f(n)f(n) for any positive integer nn. However, without a specific value of nn, we cannot calculate an exact value for f(n)f(n). We can only describe the process.
