Mathematics Question on Sequences and Series
Write the first five terms of each of the sequences in Exercises 1 to 6 whose nth terms are: an = 2n.
Answer
an = 2n
Substituting n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, we obtain
a1 = 21 = 2
a2 = 22 = 4
a3 = 23 = 8
a4 = 24 = 16
a5 = 25 = 32
Therefore, the required terms are 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
