Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive function is given as:

f(n+1)=1/3f(n)

So then we multiply both sides by 3:

3f(n+1)=f(n)

Then we set n=2:

3f(2+1)=f(2)

Which comes to be:

f(2)=3f(3)

Next we set n=1:

f(1)=3f(1+1)

Which is:

f(1)=3f(2)

Then we substitute:

f(1)=3*3f(3)

=9f(3)

=9*9

=81
