Find the first five terms of the following sequence, starting with n=1.
an=−4n−3
Give your answer as a list, separated by commas. For example, if an=n, you would give your answer as 1,2,3,4,5.
The given sequence is, an = -4n-3
Here we find the first five terms of the following sequence, starting with n=1. i.e we find the value of sequence for n = 1,2,3,4,5 .
1st term is = a1 = (-41)-3 = -4-3 = -7 [for n =1 ]
2nd term is = a2 = (-42)-3 = -8-3 = -11 [for n =2 ]
3rd term is = a3 = (-43)-3 = -12-3 = -15 [for n =3 ]
4th term is = a4 = (-44)-3 = -16-3 = -19 [for n =4 ]
5th term is = a5 = (-45)-3 = -20-3 = -23 [for n =5 ]
Answer:- -7,-11,-15,-19,-23
