If f(1)=1, f(n+1)=2f(n)+1 and n1,then f(n) is equal to 

Easy
Solution

Given ,f(1)=f(n+1)=2f(n)+1,n1

           f(2)=f(1+1)=2f(1)+1=2*1+1=3=22-1

           f(3)=f(2+1)=2f(2)+1=2*3+1=7=23-1

           f(4)=f(3+1)=2f(3)+1=2*7+1=15=24-1

           f(5)=f(4+1)=2f(4)+1=2*15+1=31=25-1

f(n)=f((n-1)+1)=2f(n-1)+1=2n-1
