Question

Find the first five terms of the sequence defined below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n = 1.an = 9n − 8

Answer 1

Given:

The general sequence for terms.

Required:

Find the first five terms of the sequence.

Explanation:

Here, n = 1 is the postion of term

So,

$\begin{gathered} n=1,a_1=9(1)-8=1 \\ n=2,a_2=9(2)-8=10 \\ n=3,a_3=9(3)-8=19 \\ n=4,a_4=9(4)-8=28 \\ n=5,a_5=9(5)-8=37 \end{gathered}$
