f (4) = - 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and f (1) = 2, then

f (2) = - 5f (1) = - 5 (2) = - 10

f (3) = - 5f (2) = - 5 ( - 10) = 50

f (4) = - 5f (3) = - 5 (50) = - 250

If f (1)2 and f (n) = - 5f (n - 1) then find the value of f (4).

If f (1)

2 and f (n) = - 5f (n - 1) then find the value of f (4).
