Answer:
The second option is the correct answer
The sequence is : 0, -1, -6, -31, -156
Explanation:
It is given that,
The recursive formula , an = 5a(n-1) - 1 and a1 = 0
To find a2, a3, a4, a5
a2 = 5a1 -1 = 5x0 - 1 = -1
a3 = 5a2 - 1 = (5x -1 ) - 1 = - 5 - 1 = -6
a4 = 5a3 - 1 =(5x -6) - 1 = -30 - 1= -31
a5 = 5a4 - 1 = (5 x -31 ) - 1 = -155 -1 = -156
Therefore the resulting sequence is
0, -1, -6, -31 ,-156
