Given initial condition and recursive formula: We are given the initial condition and the recursive formula for the sequence g(n):g(1)=10g(n)=g(n−1)−7.5To find g(3), we first need to find g(2) using the recursive formula.
Calculating g(2) using recursive formula: Using the recursive formula, we calculate g(2): g(2)=g(1)−7.5 g(2)=10−7.5 g(2)=2.5 Now we have the value of g(2).
Finding g(3) using g(2): With the value of g(2), we can now calculate g(3): g(3)=g(2)−7.5 g(3)=2.5−7.5 g(3)=−5 We have found the value of g(3).
