Answer:

Below

Explanation:

5)

The sequence includes the terms 3,6,9,12,15.. and so on

Notice that each time we add 3.

The first term is 3.

We can see it in a different way

● 3 = 3×1

● 6 = 3×2

● 9 = 3×3

● 12 = 3×4

Let 1 be n. Notice what happens

● 3 = 3n

● 6 = 3 × (n+1)

● 9 = 3 × (n+2)

● 12 = 3 × (n+3)

So we can express it as.

● a1 = 3 × 1 =3

● a2 = 3×2 =6

● a3 = 3×3 = 9

So the third term is a3 wich is 9

● a6 = 3×6 = 18

So the sixth term is 18 .

6)

the sequence is defined by:

● f(n-1) = -0.5 f(n)

Repalce n-1 with n and n with n+1

● f(n) = -0.5 f(n+1)

So to get a term you must multiply the next one by -0.5

The first term in the sequence is 120.

● 120 = -0.5 f(n+1)

● f(n+1) = 120/-0.5

● f(n+1) = -60

So the second term is -60
