Answer:

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 1

Substitute f(1) = 1

f(2) = f(2-1) -5

= f(1) - 5

+ (1) - 5

f(2) = -4

Substitute f(2) = -4

f(3) = f(3-1) -5

= f(2) -5

= (-4) -5

f(3) = -9

Substitute f(3) = -9

f(4) = f(4-1) - 5

= f(3) -5

= (-9) -5

f(4) = -14

Substitute f(4) = -14

f(5) = f(5-1) -5

= f(4) -5

= (-14) -5

f(5) = -19

Common difference of -5
