Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex] where [tex]a_0 = 2[/tex]

n = 1

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_1 = 6a_{1-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_1 = 6a_{0}[/tex]

Substitute 2 for [tex]a_0[/tex]

[tex]a_1= 6 * 2[/tex]

[tex]a_1= 12[/tex]

n = 2

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 6a_{2-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 6a_{1}[/tex]

Substitute 12 for [tex]a_1[/tex]

[tex]a_2= 6 * 12[/tex]

[tex]a_2= 72[/tex]

n = 3

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 6a_{3-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 6a_2[/tex]

Substitute 72 for [tex]a_2[/tex]

[tex]a_3= 6 * 72[/tex]

[tex]a_3= 432[/tex]

n = 4

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 6a_{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 6a_{3}[/tex]

Substitute 432 for [tex]a_3[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 6 * 432[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 2592[/tex]

n = 5

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 6a_{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 6a_4[/tex]

Substitute 2592 for [tex]a_4[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 6 * 2592[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 15552[/tex]

n = 6

[tex]a_n = 6a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = 6a_{6-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = 6a_{5}[/tex]

Substitute 15552 for [tex]a_5[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = 6 * 15552[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = 93312[/tex]

[tex]a_1= 12[/tex]   [tex]a_2= 72[/tex]   [tex]a_3= 432[/tex]   [tex]a_4 = 2592[/tex]   [tex]a_5 = 15552[/tex]   [tex]a_6 = 93312[/tex]

Solving (b):

[tex]a_n = a^2_{n - 1[/tex] where [tex]a_1 = 2[/tex]

We have

[tex]a_1 = 2[/tex] which serves as the first term

n =2

[tex]a_n = a^2_{n - 1[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = a^2_{2-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = a^2_{1}[/tex]

Substitute 2 for [tex]a_1[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 2^2[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 4[/tex]

n = 3

[tex]a_3 = a^2_{3-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = a^2_{2}[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 4^2[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 16[/tex]

n = 4

[tex]a_4 = a^2_{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = a^2_3[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 16^2[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 256[/tex]

n =5

[tex]a_5 = a^2_{5-1[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = a^2_4[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 256^2[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 65536[/tex]

n = 6

[tex]a_6 = a^2_{6-1[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = a^2_{5[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = 65536^2[/tex]

[tex]a_6 = 4294967296[/tex]

[tex]a_1 = 2[/tex]   [tex]a_2 = 4[/tex]   [tex]a_3 = 16[/tex]   [tex]a_4 = 256[/tex]   [tex]a_5 = 65536[/tex]   [tex]a_6 = 4294967296[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+3a_{n-2};[/tex] [tex]a_0=1[/tex]  ; ;  [tex]a_1=2[/tex]

[tex]a_1=2[/tex] ---- First term

n = 2

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+3a_{n-2};[/tex] becomes

[tex]a_2=a_{2-1}+3a_{2-2}[/tex]

[tex]a_2=a_1+3a_0[/tex]
