Answer #1
recurrence relation:
----------------------
T(n) = T(n-1) + 1
and T(1) = 1

solving recurrence relation:
------------------------------
T(n)
= T(n-1) + 1
= T(n-2) + 1 + 1
= T(n-3) + 1 + 1 + 1
= T(2) + ... + 1 + 1 + 1
= T(1) + 1 + ... + 1 + 1 + 1
= 1 + 1 + ... + 1 + 1 + 1   (n terms)
= n

so, T(n) = n
