Q. If f(1)=4 f(1)=4 and f(n)=f(n1)+3 f(n)=f(n-1)+3 then find the value of f(5) f(5) .\newlineAnswer:
  1. Base Case: We are given that f(1)=4f(1) = 4. This is our base case.
  2. Recursive Formula: We are also given a recursive formula: f(n)=f(n1)+3f(n) = f(n-1) + 3. This means that to find f(n)f(n), we need to know the value of f(n1)f(n-1) and then add 33 to it.
  3. Finding f(2)f(2): To find f(2)f(2), we use the recursive formula with n=2n=2: f(2)=f(21)+3=f(1)+3f(2) = f(2-1) + 3 = f(1) + 3. We know that f(1)=4f(1) = 4, so f(2)=4+3=7f(2) = 4 + 3 = 7.
  4. Finding f(3)f(3): To find f(3)f(3), we use the recursive formula with n=3n=3: f(3)=f(31)+3=f(2)+3f(3) = f(3-1) + 3 = f(2) + 3. We found that f(2)=7f(2) = 7, so f(3)=7+3=10f(3) = 7 + 3 = 10.
  5. Finding f(4)f(4): To find f(4)f(4), we use the recursive formula with n=4n=4: f(4)=f(41)+3=f(3)+3f(4) = f(4-1) + 3 = f(3) + 3. We found that f(3)=10f(3) = 10, so f(4)=10+3=13f(4) = 10 + 3 = 13.
  6. Finding f(5)f(5): To find f(5)f(5), we use the recursive formula with n=5n=5: f(5)=f(51)+3=f(4)+3f(5) = f(5-1) + 3 = f(4) + 3. We found that f(4)=13f(4) = 13, so f(5)=13+3=16f(5) = 13 + 3 = 16.
