Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the sequence of numbers an given by a1
=
1, and an+1 is the anth prime. Thus the
sequence begins
1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 31, ...
(the sixth term α6
=
31, since the 11th prime is 31). Write a function called recursive_primes
which takes a positive integer n and returns an.
Hints:
• if tab doesn't work on your browser, you can use spaces to indent.
⚫ this sequence grows very rapidly so we don't expect you to be able to actually compute an for n large.
