Exercise 1 Page 579

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

4, 7, 10, 13, and 16.

Practice makes perfect

We are given an explicit rule of a sequence and are asked to find the first 5 terms.

a_n=3n+1 To do so, we will construct a table.

n	a_n=3n+1	a_n
1	a_1=3* 1+1	4
2	a_2=3* 2+1	7
3	a_3=3* 3+1	10
4	a_4=3* 4+1	13
5	a_5=3* 5+1	16

The first 5 terms of this explicit sequence are 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16.
