The recursive formula to describe a sequence is shown below

a1=4
an=an-1+2n

State the first four terms of this sequence.

Given that the recursive formula for a sequence is

The first term of the sequence is

We need to determine the first four terms of the sequence.

Second term:

The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the recursive formula.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the second term of the sequence is 8.

Third term:

The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the recursive formula.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the third term of the sequence is 14.

Fourth term:

The fourth term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 4 in the recursive formula.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the fourth term of the sequence is 22.

Hence, the first four terms of the sequence is 4, 8, 14, 22.
