Find the first four terms of the sequence 4n-3, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n=1.
To find the 1st term, plug in n=1.
4n-3=4(1)-3=4-3=1
To find the 2nd term, plug in n=2.
4n-3=4(2)-3=8-3=5
To find the 3rd term, plug in n=3.
4n-3=4(3)-3=12-3=9
To find the 4th term, plug in n=4.
4n-3=4(4)-3=16-3=13
The first four terms of the sequence are 1, 5, 9, 13.
Find the first four terms of the sequence 2n, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n=1.
To find the 1st term, plug in n=1.
2n=21=2
To find the 2nd term, plug in n=2.
2n=22=4
To find the 3rd term, plug in n=3.
2n=23=8
To find the 4th term, plug in n=4.
2n=24=16
The first four terms of the sequence are 2, 4, 8, 16.
