    The correct answer is f (3) = - 294

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find f (3), we have to find f (1) and f (2)

    It is given that,

    f (0) = 5 and f (n+1) = -4f (n) + 2

    To find f (1)

    using given information,

    f (1) = - 4f (0) + 2 = - 4*5 + 2 = - 20 + 2 = - 18

    To find f (2)

    f (2) = - 4f (1) + 2 = - 4*-18 + 2 = 72 + 2 = 74

    To find f (3)

    f (3) = -4f (2) + 2 = - 4*74 + 2 = -296 + 2 = - 294

    Therefore the value of f (3) = - 294
