Extracted text: A certain computer algorithm executes three times as many operations when it is run with an input of size n as when it is run with an input of size n–1 (where n >1 is an integer). When the algorithm is run with an input of size 1, it executes ten operations. Let s, be the number of operations the algorithm executes when it is run on an input of size n. Find a closed form for s„.
