Answer:

10, 35, 135, 410, 1235, ...

Explanation:

a(1) = 10

a(n) = 3 * a(n-1) + 5

This recursive sequence starts with the initial value of a(1) = 10, and each subsequent term is calculated by applying the formula a(n) = 3 * a(n-1) + 5. The resulting sequence would be:

a(1) = 10

a(2) = 3 * a(1) + 5 = 3 * 10 + 5 = 35

a(3) = 3 * a(2) + 5 = 3 * 35 + 5 = 135

a(4) = 3 * a(3) + 5 = 3 * 135 + 5 = 410

a(5) = 3 * a(4) + 5 = 3 * 410 + 5 = 1235

And so on. This recursive sequence generates the following sequence: 10, 35, 135, 410, 1235, ...
