Q. Find the first five terms of the sequence defined below, where nn represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n=1n = 1.\newline7n17n - 1\newline_,_,_,_,_\_, \_, \_, \_, \_
  1. Plug in n=1n = 1: For n=1n = 1, plug it into the formula: 7(1)1=71=67(1) − 1 = 7 − 1 = 6.
  2. Plug in n=2n = 2: For n=2n = 2, do the same: 7(2)1=141=137(2) − 1 = 14 − 1 = 13.
  3. Plug in n=3n = 3: Now for n=3n = 3: 7(3)1=211=207(3) − 1 = 21 − 1 = 20.
  4. Plug in n=4n = 4: Next, n=4n = 4: 7(4)1=281=277(4) − 1 = 28 − 1 = 27.
  5. Plug in n=5n = 5: Finally, for n=5n = 5: 7(5)1=351=347(5) − 1 = 35 − 1 = 34.
