You can't make 0.2 as a whole number so we can round it to the nearest whole number, 0.
Answer:
2, 5, 14, 41, 122
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the recursive rule with a₁ = 2
a₂ = 3a₁ - 1 = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5
a₃ = 3a₂ - 1 = 3(5) - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14
a₄ = 3a₃ - 1 = 3(14) - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41
a₅ = 3a₄ - 1 = 3(41) - 1 = 123 - 1 = 122
The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 14, 41, 122
