Question

Find the first three term if the general nth term is T = 2-n

Answer 1

Tn = 2n - 6

to find first term ,n= 1

substitute n for 1 in the equation

T1 = 2(1) - 6

T1 = 2 - 6 =-4

to find second term , n =2

substitute n for 2 in the equation

T2 = 2(2) - 6

T2 = 4 - 6 = -2

to find third term, n = 3

substitute n for 3 in the equation

T3 = 2(3) - 6

T3 = 6–6 = 0

FIRST TERM = -4

SECOND TERM = -2

THIRD TERM = 0
