To calculate: The first five terms for the sequence
Answer to Problem 1CFU
The first five terms for the sequence are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The sequence
Formula used:
A sequence with first term as
Calculation:
Consider the sequence
For first five terms substitute values of n in the above expression.
For first term substitute n as 1.
For second term substitute n as 2.
For third term substitute n as 3.
For fourth term substitute n as 4.
For fifth term substitute n as 5.
Recall that a sequence with first term as
Compute the difference between the consecutive terms,
And
Therefore, common difference is
Therefore, it is an arithmetic sequence.
Thus, the first five terms for the sequence are
