Question

if a sequence is defined recursively by f(0)=4 and f(n+1)= -3f(n+1)=-3f(n)+1 for n≥0, then f(3) is equal to? DESPERATELY NEED HELPPPP

Answer 1

f(3) is equal to -101.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The sequence is followed by f(0)=4
• The given expression is f(n+1)= -3f(n)+1

Put n=0,

f(0+1)= -3f(0)+1

f(1)= -3(4)+1

f(1)= -12+1 = -11

Put n=1,

f(1+1)= -3f(1)+1

f(2)= -3(-11)+1

f(2)= 33+1 = 34

Put n=2,

f(2+1)= -3f(2)+1

f(3)= -3(34)+1

f(3)= -102+1

f(3)= -101
