Find the first five terms of the sequence given by a1 = 2, an = 3an-1 - 1

Given the sequence:

where, n is the number of terms.

We have to find the first five terms of the sequence.

For n = 2;

⇒

Substitute the given values we have;

For n = 3

⇒

Substitute the given values we have;

For n = 4

⇒

Substitute the given values we have;

For n = 5

⇒

Substitute the given values we have;

Therefore, the first five terms of the sequence are:

, , ,   and  ,

y = 0.77(x)

step-by-step explanation:

the jacket retains this value after 23% cut or retains 77% of original value. plug original 87 jacket price for x and the remaining value should be y.
