.
You are given  = 4  and  =  for n >= 2.


1.  Let us calculate :   =  = 2*4-3 = 5   (I substituted 4 instead of ).


2.  Let us calculate :   =  = 2*5-3 = 7   (I substituted 5 instead of ).


3.  Let us calculate :   =  = 2*7-3 = 11   (I substituted 7 instead of ).

Can you continue and complete this process on your own ?

It is quite simple . . .
