Determining the value of a function

From the question, we are to determine the value of f(3) using the given function.

The given function is

f(n) = 5f(n-1) + 5

To determine the value of f(3),

First, we will determine the value of f(2)

From the given function

f(n) = 5f(n-1) + 5

We can find f(2) as shown below

f(2) = 5f(2-1) + 5

f(2) = 5f(1) + 5

From the given information,

f(1) = 5

∴ f(2) = 5(5) + 5

f(2) = 25 + 5

f(2) = 30

Now, we can determine f(3)

Also, from the given function

f(n) = 5f(n-1) + 5

Then,

f(3) = 5f(3-1) + 5

f(3) = 5f(2) + 5

Substituting the value of f(2) into the equation, we get

f(3) = 5(30) + 5

f(3) = 150 + 5

f(3) = 155

Hence, the value of f(3) is 155
