Question

Write the first 4 terms of the sequence defined by the rule f(n) = 3n + 1.

Assume that the domain of the function is the set of whole numbers
greater than 0.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First of all, your question is very clear. Excluding 0 is a needed restriction.

f(1) = 3*1 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

f(2) =3*2 + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7

f(3) = 3*3 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10

f(4) = 4*3 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

4,7,10,13

Notice that you are just adding 3 to the previous term.
