Question

The expression 4n – 1 is a rule to describe a certain sequence. What are the first three terms of the sequence?

Answer 1

n = 1
n = 2
n = 3
input those into 4n-1. and evaluate.

Answer 2

beat me to it, shamil.

Answer 3

For the first term, substitute n = 1.
For the second term, substitute n = 2.
For the third term, substitute n = 3.

See how easy it can be?

Answer 4

What does that mean?

Answer 5

Plug in: If n=1 ,so 4(1)-1=3 Then plug in n=2 n=3

Answer 6

4(1) - 1 = 1st term
4(2) - 1 = 2nd term
4(3) - 1 = 3d term

Answer 7

It is multiple choice :)

Answer 8

3, 7, 11

4, 8, 12

3, 6, 9

4, 7, 11

Answer 9

4(1) - 1 = 1st term
4(2) - 1 = 2nd term
4(3) - 1 = 3d term


So,
4-1= 3 1 st term
8 -1 = 7 2 nd term
12 -1 = 11 3 rd term

So the three terms are
3 , 7 , 11
