t1 = 2
t2 = 3
t3 = 1
tn = tn-3 x tn-2 x tn-1
Knowing that the first term is two, the second term is three and the third term is one (t1 = 2, t2 = 3 and t3 = 1), calculate the value of the fourth term (t4)
Since we need to calculate t4, substitute n = 4 into the fourth part of the recursive rule (tn = tn-3 x tn-2 x tn-1)
t(4) = t(4)-3 x t(4)-2 x t(4)-1
t4 = t1 x t2 x t3 (But it is known that t1 = 2, t2 = 3 and t3 = 1)
t4 = (2)(3)(1)
t4 = 6
Repeat this process to find t5.
Knowing that the first four terms are two, three, one and six (t1 = 2, t2 = 3, t3 = 1 and t4 = 6) calculate the value of the fifth term (t5)
Since we need to calculate t5, substitute n = 5 into the fourth part of the recursive rule (tn = tn-3 x tn-2 x tn-1)
t(5) = t(5)-3 x t(5)-2 x t(5)-1
t5 = t2 x t3 x t4 (But it is known that t2 = 3 and t3 = 1 and it was calculated that t4 = 6)
t5 = (3)(1)(6)
t5 = 18
Repeat this process to find t6.
Knowing that the first five terms are two, three, one, six and eighteen (t1 = 2, t2 = 3, t3 = 1, t4 = 6 and t5 = 18) calculate the value of the sixth term (t6)
Since we need to calculate t6, substitute n = 6 into the fourth part of the recursive rule (tn = tn-3 x tn-2 x tn-1)
t(6) = t(6)-3 x t(6)-2 x t(6)-1
t6 = t3 x t4 x t5 (But it is known that t3 = 1 and it was calculated that t4 = 6 and t5 = 18)
t6 = (1)(6)(18)
t6 = 108
Sequence: 2, 3, 1, 6, 18, 108, 11664, 22674816, . . .
Sequence: Starting with two, three and one, multiply three succesive terms of the sequence to determine the next term of the sequence.
