Exercise 5 Page 414

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

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8

Practice makes perfect

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

a_n=n+2 To do so we will construct a table.

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

The first 6 terms of this explicit sequence are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
