Exercise 1 Page 410

Substitute values for n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to find the first 6 terms.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

Practice makes perfect
We are given an explicit rule of a sequence and are asked to find the first 6 terms.

a_n= n + 4 To do so, we will construct a table.

n a_n= n + 4 a_n
1 a_1= 1+4 5
2 a_2= 2+4 6
3 a_3= 3+4 7
4 a_4= 4+4 8
5 a_5= 5+4 9
6 a_6= 6+4 10

The first 6 terms of this explicit sequence are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
