Question

Find the first five terms in sequences with the following 3n+2

Answer 1

To determine the first five terms of the sequence we substitute n by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

For n=1, we get:

`3(1)+2=3+2=5.`

For n=2, we get:

`3(2)+2=6+2=8.`

For n=3, we get:

`3(3)+2=9+2=11.`

For n=4, we get:

`3(4)+2=12+2=14.`

For n=5, we get:

`3(5)+2=15+2=17.`

Answer: The first five terms of the sequence are:

`5,\text{ 8, 11, 14, 17.}`
