Question

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following.

an=51 + (n-1).8, n=1, 2, 3...

Answer 1

Explanation:

a1 = 51 + (1 -1 ) * 0.8

a1 = 51

a2 = 51 + (2 - 1)*0.8

a2 = 51 + 0.8

a2 = 51.8

a3 = 51 + (3 - 1)*0.8

a3 = 51 + 2*0.8

a3 = 51 + 1.6

a3 = 52.6

a4 = 51 + (4 - 1)*0.8

a4 = 51 + 2.4

a4 = 53.4
