Answer:

38

Explanation:

The recursion relation describes an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 2 and a common difference of 4. The explicit formula for the n-th term of the sequence is ...

f(n) = f(1) +d(n -1) . . . . . for first term f(1) and difference d

f(n) = 2 +4(n -1) = 4n -2

Then the 10th term is ...

f(10) = 4(10) -2

f(10) = 38
