Q. Find the first four terms of the sequence defined below, where nn represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n=1n = 1.\newlinean=5n−4a_n = 5n - 4\newline_____, _____, _____, _____
  1. Find First Term: To find the first term in the sequence, substitute n=1n = 1 into the formula an=5n−4a_n = 5n − 4.a1=5(1)−4a_1 = 5(1) − 4=5−4= 5 − 4=1= 1So, the first term a1a_1 is 11.
  2. Find Second Term: To find the second term in the sequence, substitute n=2n = 2 into the formula an=5n−4a_n = 5n − 4.a2=5(2)−4a_2 = 5(2) − 4=10−4= 10 − 4=6= 6So, the second term a2a_2 is 66.
  3. Find Third Term: To find the third term in the sequence, substitute n=3n = 3 into the formula an=5n−4a_n = 5n − 4.a3=5(3)−4a_3 = 5(3) − 4=15−4= 15 − 4=11= 11So, the third term a3a_3 is 1111.
  4. Find Fourth Term: To find the fourth term in the sequence, substitute n=4n = 4 into the formula an=5n−4a_n = 5n − 4.a4=5(4)−4a_4 = 5(4) − 4=20−4= 20 − 4=16= 16So, the fourth term a4a_4 is 1616.
