Exercise 3 Page 579

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

3, 8, 15, 24, and 35.

Practice makes perfect

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

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

n	a_n=n^2+2n	a_n
1	a_1= 1^2+2* 1	3
2	a_2= 2^2+2* 2	8
3	a_3= 3^2+2* 3	15
4	a_4= 4^2+2* 4	24
5	a_5= 5^2+2* 5	35

The first 5 terms of this explicit sequence are 3, 8, 15, 24, and 35.
