PRMOISE FOR BRINLIEST PLZZZ ANSWER IF U KNOW THIS ASAP!!!

What are the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression n(n – 1) – 5?
A.)–7, –5, –3, 1
B.) –5, –10, –15, –20
C.00, 2, 6, 12
D.)–5, –3, 1, 7

Answer 1

1st term: n = 1

apply the value 1 to n in the equation:

1(1-1) - 5

1(0) - 5

0 - 5

- 5

Second term n = 2

2(2 - 1) - 5

2 (1) - 5

2 - 5

-3

Since we know the 1st term is -5 in the sequence and the second is -3, we can assume the answer is D. -5, -3, etc
