Question

What are the first three terms in the sequence for -5n + 2?

Answer 1

Answer: the first three terms in the sequence are -3, -8, and -13

Step-by-step explanation: the Nth term =-5n + 2.

1st term (i.e N=1) = -5(1) +2 = -5+2 = -3

2nd term(i.e N=2) = -5(2) +2 = -10+2= -8

3rd term(i.e N=3) = -5(3) +2 = -15+2= -13

Therefore, the first three terms are -3, -8, and -13

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

(A) The first 3 terms in the sequence are -3, -8, and -13

Explanation:

when n = 1 you get the first term, when n = 2 you get the second term, and when n = 3, you get the 3rd term.

-5(1) + 2 = -3

-5(2) + 2 = -8

-5(3) + 2 = -13

so the first 3 terms in the sequence are -3, -8, and -13
