Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!

Write the first five terms of the sequence defined by the function below.

Answer 1

The first 5 terms are;

-2, 2, 13,38 and 91

Explanation:

Here, we want to write the first 5 terms of the sequence.

We already have the first term as 1

Now, we need the 2nd term

Putting two in place of n, we have ;

2f(1) + 3n

= 2(-2) + 3(2) = -4 + 6 = 2

For the 3rd term, put 3 in place of n

2f(2) + 3(3)

sine f(2) = 2, we have

2(2) + 9 = 4+ 9 = 13

For the fourth term, put 4 in place of n, we have

2f(3) + 3(4)

since f(3) = 13

we have; 2(13) + 12 = 26 + 12 = 38

For the 5th term, put 5 in place of n, we have

2f(4) + 3(5)

since f(4) = 38, we have

2(38) + 15 = 76 + 15 = 91
