Question Prompt: The question prompt is: "What is the value of h(3)?"
Given Initial Condition: We are given the initial condition h(1)=−5 and the recursive formula h(n)=h(n−1)+1.8. To find h(3), we first need to find h(2) using the recursive formula.
Finding h(2): Using the recursive formula h(n)=h(n−1)+1.8, we substitute n with 2 to find h(2): h(2)=h(2−1)+1.8 h(2)=h(1)+1.8 h(2)=−5+1.8 h(2)=−3.2
Finding h(3): Now that we have h(2), we can use it to find h(3) using the same recursive formula:h(3)=h(3−1)+1.8h(3)=h(2)+1.8h(3)=−3.2+1.8h(3)=−1.4
