Answer:

5, 7, 11, 19, 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and a₁ = 5 , then

a₂ = 2a₁ - 3 = (2 × 5) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

a₃ = 2a₂ - 3 = (2 × 7) - 3 = 14 - 3 = 11

a₄ = 2a₃ - 3 = (2 × 11) - 3 = 22 - 3 = 19

a₅ = 2a₄ - 3 = (2 × 19) - 3 = 38 - 3 = 35

Thus the first 5 terms are

5, 7, 11, 19, 35

A strobe light is located at the center of a square dance room. the rotating light is 40 feet from each of the square walls and
Effectus [21]

The equation of the rotating light is an illustration of a secant function

The equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

The equation is a secant function represented by

y =A\sec(Bt)

Where:

A represents the amplitude

So, we have:

A = 40 --- the distance of the light from each square wall

B represents the period, and it is calculated as:

B = \frac{2\pi}{T}

The light completes its full rotation every 6 seconds.

This means that,

T = 6

So, we have:

B = \frac{2\pi}{6}

Simplify

B = \frac{\pi}{3}

Substitute values for A and B in y =A\sec(Bt)

y = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)

Rewrite as a function

d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)

Hence, the equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)
