Consider the following recursive mediod:public static int p(int x){ if (x<3) {return x;...

Consider the following recursive mediod:

public static int p(int x)

{ if (x<3) {

return x;

}

else {

return p(x-l) * p(x-3);

} // end if

} // end p

Letm(x) be the number of multiplication operations that the execution ofp(x) performs.

a. Write a recursive definition ofm(x).

b. Prove that your answer to Parta is correct by using mathematical induction.
