Answer 1

Explanation:

`a_(n)=-n^2+6\\a_(1)=-1^2+6=5\\a_(2)=-2^2+6=2\\a_(3)=-3^2+6=-3\\a_(4)=-4^2+6=-10\\a_(5)=-5^2+6=-25+6=-19\\a_(6)=-6^2+6=-36+6=-30`

Answer 2

For the term number which is “n” you substitute for example to find the first term you would do

(-1)(2)+6= 4

For term two replace “n” with 2

(-2)(2)+6= 2

Then you would continue for the rest of the terms
