Answer 7

anyhow lets do it together

Answer 8

the question says you have f(1) = 2 and f(2) = 3. it doesn't give you any other information. so it can be concluded that you will use these two values to get your answer

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

the general formula they give you for the series is f(n) = f(n - 1) + f(n - 2), for n > 2

Answer 11

where n is any number bigger than 2

Answer 12
