Then 1 white, then 3 blue then 1 white
<u>Given</u>:
The given expression to find the nth term of the sequence is 
The first term of the sequence is 
We need to determine the third term of the sequence.
<u>Second term:</u>
The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;




Thus, the second term of the sequence is -40.
<u>Third term:</u>
The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;



Thus, the third term of the sequence is 120.
Answer:
A function is a relation that maps inputs from a set called the domain, into outputs from a set called the range.
Such that each input can be mapped into only one output.
So for example, if we have a relation that maps the input 2 into two different values:
f(2) = 4
f(2) = 8
Then this is not a function.
In the case of the problem, we have a student as the input, and the hair color as the output.
So we will have something like:
f(student) = blond
And if this student decides to change his/her hair color to red?
Then the function becomes:
f(student) = red
So for the same input, we had two different outputs, which means that this is not a function.
We also could have the case where a given student has two colors (Californian for example)
Where again, we would see two different outputs for one single input.

And another one would be

The answer is a equals 6.
