Answer: B) 3

-----------------------------------------------------------

f(0) = 3 is the given initial term
f(n+1) = -f(n)+5 is the recursive rule

Plug in n = 0 to find the next term
f(n+1) = -f(n)+5
f(0+1) = -f(0)+5 ... replace every n with 0
f(1) = -3+5 ... replace f(0) with 3
f(1) = 2

The second term is f(1) = 2

Then plug in n = 1 to find the next term after that
f(n+1) = -f(n)+5
f(1+1) = -f(1)+5 ... replace n with 1
f(2) = -2+5 ...... replace f(1) with 2
f(2) = 3

we stop here because we found the value for f(2)
