Answer:

  -1701

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursion relation tells you each term of the sequence is -3 times the previous term. Then the first 6 terms are ...

  7, -21, 63, -189, 567, -1701

The value of f(6) is -1701.

_____

Additional comment

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence with first term 7 and common ratio -3 is ...

  f(n) = 7×(-3)^(n-1)

Then f(6) is ...

  f(6) = 7×(-3)^5 = 7×(-243) = -1701
