Answer:

6, 10, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ= aₙ₋₁ - (aₙ₋₂ - 4)= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ₋₂ + 4

a₅= -2

a₆= 0

-----------

aₙ₋₂= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ + 4

  • a₄= a₅- a₆ + 4 = -2 - 0 + 4 = 2
  • a₃= a₄ - a₅ + 4 = 2 - (-2) + 4 = 8
  • a₂= a₃ - a₄ + 4 = 8 - 2 + 4 = 10
  • a₁= a₂ - a₃ + 4 = 10 - 8 + 4 = 6

The first 3 terms: 6, 10 and 8
