Q. If f(1)=1 and f(n)=5f(n−1)+3 then find the value of f(3).Answer:
Find f(2): We are given the initial condition f(1)=1. To find f(3), we first need to find f(2) using the recursive formula f(n)=5f(n−1)+3.Calculation: f(2)=5f(2−1)+3=5f(1)+3=5(1)+3=5+3=8.
Use f(2) to find f(3): Now that we have f(2), we can use it to find f(3) using the same recursive formula.Calculation: f(3)=5f(3−1)+3=5f(2)+3=5(8)+3=40+3=43.
