To solve this question, find the 4 first terms of the sequence.
The first term is a₁
a₁ is given and a₁ = 7
The second term is a₂
Given:
[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+5[/tex]
Then, let's find a₂ using the value of a₁
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_2=a_1+5 \\ a_2=7+5 \\ a_2=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The third term is a₃
let's find a₃ using the value of a₂
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_3=a_2+5 \\ a_3=12+5 \\ a_3=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The fourth term is a₄
let's find a₄ using the value of a₃
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_4=a_3+5 \\ a_4=17+5 \\ a_4=22 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
The four first terms are:
a₁ = 7
a₃ = 12
a₃ = 17
a₄ = 22
