Question

Write the first six terms of the sequence.a₁ = 1, ª₁ = ª₁_1 – 5a₁ = ===a5a,= , a = |, a=a3wwwa6

Answer 1

Given,

The expression is:

$a_1=1,a_n=a_{n-1}-5$

Required:

The first six term of the series.

The first six term of the series is,

$\begin{gathered} a_1=1 \\ a_2=a_1-5=-4 \\ a_3=a_2-5=-9 \\ a_4=a_3-5=-14 \\ a_5=a_4-5=-19 \\ a_6=a_5-5=-24 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the first six term of the series is obtained.
