Answer:

2, 3, 5, 9, 17

Explanation:

using the recursive rule
a_(n) = 2
a_(n-1) - 1 with a₁ = 2

a₁ = 2

a₂ = 2a₁ - 1 = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

a₃ = 2a₂ - 1 = 2(3) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

a₄ = 2a₃ - 1 = 2(5) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

a₅ = 1a₄ - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

the first 5 terms are 2 , 3 , 5 , 9 , 1 7
