Q. If

a_{1}=9

and

a_{n}=-4 a_{n-1}+4

then find the value of

a_{3}

.

\newline

Answer:

Find $a_{2}$ : We are given the first term of the sequence, $a_{1}=9$ , and the recursive formula for the sequence, $a_{n}=-4a_{n-1}+4$ . To find $a_{3}$ , we first need to find $a_{2}$ using the recursive formula. $\newline$ $a_{2} = -4a_{1} + 4$ $\newline$ Substitute the value of $a_{1}$ into the formula. $\newline$ $a_{2} = -4(9) + 4$ $\newline$ Calculate the value of $a_{2}$ . $\newline$ $a_{2} = -36 + 4$ $\newline$ $a_{1}=9$ $0$
Calculate $a_{3}$ : Now that we have $a_{2}$ , we can use the recursive formula again to find $a_{3}$ . $\newline$ $a_{3} = -4a_{2} + 4$ $\newline$ Substitute the value of $a_{2}$ into the formula. $\newline$ $a_{3} = -4(-32) + 4$ $\newline$ Calculate the value of $a_{3}$ . $\newline$ $a_{3} = 128 + 4$ $\newline$ $a_{3} = 132$
