Answer:

The first five terms of the sequence

4 , 9 , 14 , 19 , 24

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given
n^(th) of the sequence

aₙ = 5 n -1

Put n=1

a₁ = 5(1)-1 = 5-1 =4

First term of the sequence = 4

Put n =2

a₂ = 5(2) -1 = 10-1 =9

Second term of the sequence = 9

Put n=3

a₃ = 5(3)-1 =15-1 =14

Third term of the sequence = 14

Put n=4

a₄ = 5(4)-1 = 20 -1 = 19

Fourth term of the sequence = 19

Put n=5

a₅ = 5(5)-1 = 25-1 =24

Fifth term of the sequence = 24

Final answer:-

The first five terms of the sequence

4 , 9 , 14 , 19 , 24 this is an arithmetic progression
