To complete the missing values in the recursive formula for the sequence, we can analyze the given information:

1. The recursion specifies that \( f(1) = A \), which means the initial term of the sequence is defined by \( A \).
2. The recursive relation \( f(n) = f(n-1) + B \) shows that each term in the sequence is obtained by adding \( B \) to the previous term \( f(n-1) \).

Given this structure, we can express the first few terms of the sequence:

- \( f(1) = A \)
- \( f(2) = f(1) + B = A + B \)
- \( f(3) = f(2) + B = (A + B) + B = A + 2B \)
- \( f(4) = f(3) + B = (A + 2B) + B = A + 3B \)

This suggests that the general form of the sequence can be formulated as follows:

\[
f(n) = A + (n - 1)B
\]

From this observation, we can conclude:

- \( A \) represents the first term of the sequence (when \( n=1 \)).
- \( B \) represents the common difference between consecutive terms.

Since no specific values are given for \( A \) and \( B \) in your query, we simply state:

\[
A = \text{(initial term of the sequence)}
\]

\[
B = \text{(common difference between terms)}
\]

If you have specific values for \( A \) and \( B \), please provide them so that I can give more targeted information. Otherwise, please choose values based on your requirements for the sequence.
