Question

List the first three terms of this sequence: an = 3 • 5n – 1

Answer 1

Answer:

1st term = 14

2nd term = 29

3rd term = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

1st term = 3 x (5 x 1) - 1

             = 3 x 5 - 1

             = 15 - 1 =  14

2nd term = 3 x (5 x 2) - 1

               = 3 x 10 - 1

               =30 - 1 = 29

3rd term = 3 x (5 x 3) -1

               = 3 x 15 - 1

               = 45 - 1 = 44
