Author: Michiel Smid
The function $ T: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} $ is defined recursively as follows: \[ T(n) = \begin{cases} 3 & \text{if $n=0$} \\ 2\cdot T(n-1) + 3 & \text{if $n\ge 1$} \end{cases} \] Which of the following is true, for all $n\ge 0$?
(a)
$T(n)= 3^{n+1}$
(b)
$T(n)= 2^{n+1}+1$
(c)
$T(n)=3(2^{n+1}-1)$
(d)
$T(n)=2(3^{n+1}-1)$
(e)
$T(n)= 3n$
