Q. 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.−7n−2_____, _____, _____, _____, _____
Find First Term: To find the first term, plug in n=1 into the formula: –7(1)−2.
Calculate First Term: Calculate the first term: −7×1−2=−7−2=−9.
Find Second Term: To find the second term, plug in n=2 into the formula: –7(2)−2.
Calculate Second Term: Calculate the second term: −7×2−2=−14−2=−16.
Find Third Term: To find the third term, plug in n=3 into the formula: –7(3)−2.
Calculate Third Term: Calculate the third term: −7×3−2=−21−2=−23.
Find Fourth Term: To find the fourth term, plug in n=4 into the formula: –7(4)−2.
Calculate Fourth Term: Calculate the fourth term: −7×4−2=−28−2=−30.
Find Fifth Term: To find the fifth term, plug in n=5 into the formula: –7(5)−2.
Calculate Fifth Term: Calculate the fifth term: −7×5−2=−35−2=−37.
