Answer

Therefore, the final answer is f(6)=11

Steps

Step 1 :Given that f(1)=1 and f(n)=f(n1)+2

Step 2 :We can use the given recursive formula to find f(6)

Step 3 :First, find f(2): f(2)=f(21)+2=f(1)+2=1+2=3

Step 4 :Then, find f(3): f(3)=f(31)+2=f(2)+2=3+2=5

Step 5 :Next, find f(4): f(4)=f(41)+2=f(3)+2=5+2=7

Step 6 :After that, find f(5): f(5)=f(51)+2=f(4)+2=7+2=9

Step 7 :Finally, find f(6): f(6)=f(61)+2=f(5)+2=9+2=11

Step 8 :So, f(6)=11

Step 9 :Check the result: f(6)=f(5)+2=9+2=11, which is consistent with the previous result

Step 10 :Therefore, the final answer is f(6)=11
