Question

Find the first four terms of the sequence, an = 4 − 2n

Answer 1

Answer:

2, 0, -2, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

an = 4 − 2n

a1 = 4 - 2(1) = 2

a2 = 4 - 2(2) = 0

a3 = 4 - 2(3) = -2

a4 = 4 - 2(4) = -4

Answer 2

Answer:

(2, 0, -2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

a(1) = 4 - 2(1)

= 4 - 2

= 2

a(2) = 4 - 2(2)

= 4 - 4

= 0

a(3) = 4 - 2(3)

= 4 - 6

= -2

a(4) = 4 - 4(4)

= 4 - 8

= -4
