Question

Find the first five terms of the recursive sequence. Show all work.

Answer 1

The first five terms of the recursive sequence are 5, 12, 19, 26 and 33.

How to use recursive equations to generate a series

In this question we have a linear recursive equation that requires the value of the immediately previous element to generate the next one. Then, we need to evaluate the expression for the first five elements:

i = 1

a₁ = 5

i = 2

a₁ = 5, a₂ = a₁ + 7

a₂ = 5 + 7

a₂ = 12

i = 3

a₂ = 12, a₃ = a₂ + 7

a₃ = 12 + 7

a₃ = 19

i = 4

a₃ = 19, a₄ = a₃ + 7

a₄ = 19 + 7

a₄ = 26

i = 5

a₄ = 26, a₅ = a₄ + 7

a₅ = 26 + 7

a₅ = 33

The first five terms of the recursive sequence are 5, 12, 19, 26 and 33.
