Question

Write the first five terms of the sequence.

an = n 2 + 2

Answer 1

To find the first term, replace n with 1.
Second - n = 2
Third - n = 3
Fourth - n = 4
Fifth - n = 5

Answer 2

Put n= 1 to 5 each time and get the terms...

Answer 3

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow a_1 = 1^2 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3}\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow a_2 = 2^2 + 2 = 4 + 6 = 10}\)

etc.
