1. Defining and Using Sequences and Series
Sign In
Substitute values for n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to find the first 6 terms.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0
a_n=6-n To do so we will construct a table.
n | a_n=6-n | a_n |
---|---|---|
1 | a_1=6- 1 | 5 |
2 | a_2=6- 2 | 4 |
3 | a_3=6- 3 | 3 |
4 | a_4=6- 4 | 2 |
5 | a_5=6- 5 | 1 |
6 | a_6=6- 6 | 0 |
The first 6 terms of this explicit sequence are 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0.
