Complete question
Given the recursive formula shown, what are the first 4 terms of the sequence?
f(1) = 5 if n=1
f(n) = 4f(n-1) if n> 1
A) 5. 25, 100, 400
C) 5, 25, 125, 625
D) 5. 14, 60, 236
Get f(2)
f(2) = 4f(2-1)
f(2) = 4f(1)
f(2) = 4(5)
f(2) = 20
Get f(3)
f(3) = 4f(3-1)
f(3) = 4f(2)
f(3) = 4(20)
f(3) = 80
Get f(4)
f(4) = 4f(4-1)
f(4) = 4f(3)
f(4) = 4(80)
f(4) = 320
Hence the first 4 terms of the sequence are 5, 20, 80 and 320
