The first five terms of the sequence represented as an = 3(n -1) + 1 are 1,4, 7, 10 and 13
The formula of the sequence is given as:
an = 3(n -1) + 1
The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence, and the first five terms are the values of the sequence when the value of n is from 1 to 5
i.e. n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Next, we set n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and substitute these values for n in an = 3(n -1) + 1
So, we have the following equations
First term
a1 = 3(1 -1) + 1 = 1
Second term
a2 = 3(2 -1) + 1 = 4
Third term
a3 = 3(3 -1) + 1 = 7
Fourth term
a4 = 3(4 -1) + 1 = 10
Fifth term
a5 = 3(5 -1) + 1 = 13
Hence, the first five terms of the sequence represented as an = 3(n -1) + 1 are 1,4, 7, 10 and 13
