In Exercises 1–14, write the first six terms of each arithmetic sequence. an = an-1 +6, a₁ = −9

Accepted Answer

enumerate the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. Given the following values A N equals a N minus one plus four. Where a one equals negative 12. So let's go ahead and look at our formula we have what A one is A one is an equal negative 12. Let's see. 125. A two N. Is now 21. A two minus one plus four. That means we have a one plus four. Now we know what a one is. A one is negative 12. We have negative 12 plus four which is negative eight. So we have a two. Now we want a three. A three will be a three minus one plus four which is a two plus four. This will be negative eight plus four which is negative four. We can start to see a pattern for me here. If you notice a four will then be a three plus four Or a three was negative four Had four we would get zero. Finally a five will be a four plus four which is zero plus four which is four. Now I just want to put our numbers in order. Anyone is first so we have 12. The -8 -4, 0 and four. This is our sequence which means the answer to our problem turns out to be answer. A Okay I hope to help you solve the problem. Thank you for watching. Goodbye
