A recursive formula is f (x) = f (x - 1) + 3x +1, where F(2)=9. What is F(1)?

Create a question with this scenario you could ask that could be answered only by graphing or using logarithm. david estimated he had about 20 fish in his pond. a year later, there were about 1.5 times as many fish. the year after that, the number of fish increased by a factor of 1.5 again. the number of fish is modeled by f(x)=20(1.5)^x.
