Given that the first term is latex: t_1=5t 1 = 5, and the recursive definition is latex: t_{n+1}=3\cdot t_nt n + 1 = 3 ⋅ t n, what would be the second term (i. e. latex: t_2t 2)

15

Explanation:

The question is: given that the first term is        and the recursive definition is        , what would be the second term (i.e.        )

A recursive defintion or recursive formula is an equation (a rule) that you apply over a term to find the next term, and so you can use it repeatedly to find the successive terms of a series.

In this case, your rule is that you multiply each term by 3, starting from 5.

Thus:

Hence, your answer is 15 (the fourth choice).
