Question

What is the value of a1 in the sequence?

Answer 1

$a_1,\ a_2,\ a_3,\ a_4,\ ...-\text{the sequence}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\-4,\ -2,\ -12,\ -14,\ ...\\\\\boxed{a_1=-4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

-4, -2, -12, -14, ...

We need to find the value of a₁.

We know that $a_n$ represents the nth term of a sequence. So, a₁ represents the first term of the sequence.

From the given sequence it is clear that the first term of the sequence is -4. So, we conclude that

$a_1=-4$

The value of a₁ in the sequence is -4.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
