To write: the first five terms of the sequence defined recursively and write the pattern for nth term.
Answer to Problem 59E
The first five terms are
The pattern for nth term is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Given sequence
Calculation:
Since the first term of the sequence is
Hence the first five terms are
Now, the pattern for nth term can be obtained as
Consider the sequence
For
The terms are
Rewrite the terms as shown below,
Thus pattern followed is such that each term is 4 more than 2 times
