The value of a₄ is -9
Recursively defined sequence is the sequence where every term is calculated by the use of the one or more previous term given.
In this given problem
a₁ = 5
given relation between term is [tex]a_{n+1}[/tex] = 2aₙ -7
using this relation
take n=1
a₂ = 2a₁-7 =(2*5)-7=3
then by taking n=2
a₃ = 2a₂-7 =(2*3)-7=-1
then taking n=3
a₄= 2a₃-7 =(2*(-1))-7= -9
so the final answer will be a₄ = -9
