Answer:

60

Explanation:

In the function, the growth factor is "a", the base of the exponent. When the exponent is increased by 1, the value is multiplied by "a".

f(7) = a·f(6) = 4·15

f(7) = 60

_____

As you know, the exponent signifies repeated multiplication. So, an increase of 1 in the exponent means the base is part of the product one more time:

a^6 = a·a·a·a·a·a

a^7 = a·a·a·a·a·a·a = a·(a^6)
