Question

What are the first 5 terms of 30-n^2

Answer 1

29, 26, 21, 14, 5

Explanation:

To find the first 5 terms, substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into the n th term formula.

30 - 1² = 30 - 1 = 29

30 - 2² = 30 - 4 = 26

30 - 3² = 30 - 9 = 21

30 - 4² = 30 - 16 = 14

30 - 5² = 30 - 25 = 5

The first 5 terms are 29, 26, 21, 14, 5
