Question

A sequence has an explict formula \[a_{n} = 11n-4\] What are the first 6 terms of the sequence?

Answer 1

Substitute n with 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Answer 2

That'll fetch you the first six terms of the sequence ^_^ =) I'm confident

Answer 3

what does a with the small n mean though, how would i put that in my calculator? i multiply the a * 1,2,3,4,5,6?

Answer 4

The small n means the nth term of a sequence named 'a'.

Answer 5

\(a\) is mostly used for arithmetic sequence.

Answer 6

so i do multiply?

Answer 7

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large a_1 = 11(1) - 4 }\)
\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \large a_{2} = 11(2) - 4 }\)

etc.
