To find the first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula, we need to substitute the values of n=1, 2, and 3 into the formula and calculate the corresponding terms.
The given recursive formula is:
a(n) = 2 * a(n-1) - 1
Let's start by finding the first term, a(1):
Substituting n=1 into the formula, we get:
a(1) = 2 * a(1-1) - 1
a(1) = 2 * a(0) - 1
To find a(0), we need additional information about the sequence or explicit terms. If you have more information or explicit terms, please provide them, so we can continue calculating the first three terms of the sequence.
