Answer:
Find
f
(
3
)
f(3)
f
(
3
)
:
Use the initial conditions to find
f
(
3
)
f(3)
f
(
3
)
. The recursive formula is
f
(
n
)
=
f
(
n
−
1
)
−
f
(
n
−
2
)
f(n) = f(n-1) - f(n-2)
f
(
n
)
=
f
(
n
−
1
)
−
f
(
n
−
2
)
. We know
f
(
1
)
=
2
f(1) = 2
f
(
1
)
=
2
and
f
(
2
)
=
1
f(2) = 1
f
(
2
)
=
1
. So,
f
(
3
)
=
f
(
2
)
−
f
(
1
)
=
1
−
2
=
−
1
f(3) = f(2) - f(1) = 1 - 2 = -1
f
(
3
)
=
f
(
2
)
−
f
(
1
)
=
1
−
2
=
−
1
.
Find
f
(
4
)
f(4)
f
(
4
)
:
Use the recursive formula to find
f
(
4
)
f(4)
f
(
4
)
.
\newline
Now we have
f
(
2
)
=
1
f(2) = 1
f
(
2
)
=
1
and
f
(
3
)
=
−
1
f(3) = -1
f
(
3
)
=
−
1
.
\newline
So,
f
(
4
)
=
f
(
3
)
−
f
(
2
)
=
−
1
−
1
=
−
2
f(4) = f(3) - f(2) = -1 - 1 = -2
f
(
4
)
=
f
(
3
)
−
f
(
2
)
=
−
1
−
1
=
−
2
.
Find
f
(
5
)
f(5)
f
(
5
)
:
Use the recursive formula to find
f
(
5
)
f(5)
f
(
5
)
.
\newline
Now we have
f
(
3
)
=
−
1
f(3) = -1
f
(
3
)
=
−
1
and
f
(
4
)
=
−
2
f(4) = -2
f
(
4
)
=
−
2
.
\newline
So,
f
(
5
)
=
f
(
4
)
−
f
(
3
)
=
−
2
−
(
−
1
)
=
−
2
+
1
=
−
1
f(5) = f(4) - f(3) = -2 - (-1) = -2 + 1 = -1
f
(
5
)
=
f
(
4
)
−
f
(
3
)
=
−
2
−
(
−

)
=
−

=
