Sagot :

Ok don't hurt yourself I'm here ...

[tex]a(n) = 3a(n - 1) + 5[/tex]

_____________________________________________

n = 2

put 2 instead of any "n" you can see in the above equation

[tex]a(2) = 3a(2 - 1) + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(2) = 3a(1) + 5[/tex]

Oh can you see that " a(1) " we know what it is :

[tex]a(1) = - 3[/tex]

So :

[tex]a(2) = 3 \times ( - 3) + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(2) = - 9 + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(2) = - 4[/tex]

_____________________________________________

n = 3

put 3 instead of blablabla...

[tex]a(3) = 3a(3 - 1) + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(3) = 3a(2) + 5[/tex]

Oh we just found a(2) so :

[tex]a(3) = 3( - 4) + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(3) = - 12 + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(3) = - 7[/tex]

_____________________________________________

n = 4

put 4 ...

[tex]a(4) = 3a(4 - 1) + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(4) = 3a(3) + 5[/tex]huh a(3)

[tex]a(4) = 3( - 7) + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(4) = - 21 + 5[/tex]

[tex]a(4) = - 16[/tex]

_____________________________________________

So the first four term of the sequence is :

[tex] - 3 \: , \: - 4 \: , \: - 7 \: , \: - 16[/tex]

There u go...

Have a great day ♡
