Yeah, U1 is 3, so U2 = 9!

B) 9 is the way to go. The recurrence relation is easy to understand, and the solution follows logically from the given information.

Haha, this question is a piece of cake! The answer is clearly C) 13. Anyone who can't solve this must be sleeping in their math class.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The recurrence relation looks simple, but I'm getting a different result. I'll have to double-check my work.

D) 21 seems like the correct answer to me. The recurrence relation is straightforward, and if we plug in the values, we should get 21 for U2.

I feel like the answer might be 9, but I need to double-check my calculations for U1 and U2.

I practiced a similar question where we had to find terms in a sequence, but I can't remember the exact steps for this one.

If I recall correctly, U1 should be 3, but I'm not entirely sure how to get there.

I think I remember that we need to calculate U1 first before finding U2.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. U0 = 0, so U1 = 2(0) + 3 = 3. Then U2 = 2(3) + 3 = 9. I'm feeling good about this - the answer is definitely B) 9.

I think I've got this! The recurrence relation is Un = 2Un-1 + 3. So we start with U0 = 0, then U1 = 2(0) + 3 = 3, and finally U2 = 2(3) + 3 = 9. The answer must be B) 9.

I think the answer is B) 9. The recurrence relation gives us the formula to calculate the next term, and with U0 = 0, we can easily solve for U2.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. How do we use the recurrence relation to calculate U2? I know we need to start with U0, but I'm not sure how to apply the formula correctly. Any tips on the best approach here?

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. If U0 = 0, then U1 = 2(0) + 3 = 3. So U2 = 2(3) + 3 = 9. I'm pretty confident that the answer is B) 9.
