Suppose the sequence StartSet a Subscript n Baseline EndSet is defined by the recurrence relation a Subscript n plus 1equalsnegative 2na Subscript n, for nequals1, 2, 3,..., where a1equals5. Write out the first five terms of the sequence.

-10, 40, -240, 1,920 and -19, 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recurrence relation of the sequence defined as aₙ₊₁ = -2naₙ for n = 1, 2, 3... where a₁ = 5, to get the first five terms of the sequence, we will find the values for when n = 1 to n =5.

when n= 1;

aₙ₊₁ = -2naₙ

a₁₊₁ = -2(1)a₁

a₂ = -2(1)(5)

a₂ = -10

when n = 2;

a₂₊₁ = -2(2)a₂

a₃ = -2(2)(-10)

a₃ = 40

when n = 3;

a₃₊₁ = -2(3)a₃

a₄ = -2(3)(40)

a₄ = -240

when n= 4;

a₄₊₁ = -2(4)a₄

a₅ = -2(4)(-240)

a₅ = 1,920

when n = 5;

a₅₊₁ = -2(5)a₅

a₆ = -2(5)(1920)

a₆ = -19,200

Hence, the first five terms of the sequence is -10, 40, -240, 1,920 and -19, 200

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
