![**Sequence Definition Problem**
Consider the sequence defined by the following:
\[ a_1 = 1 \]
\[ a_{n+1} = \frac{4}{a_n} - 5 \]
**Find the following terms of the sequence:**
\[ a_2 = \]
\[ a_3 = \]
\[ a_4 = \]
For each term, substitute the value of \(a_n\) into the recurrence relation to determine the next term. Use the initial value \(a_1 = 1\) to begin your calculations.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F71c0ef9f-cd3d-4be0-91e6-4ca83044b87b%2F96dfd5aa-57dd-4527-845e-cad0860b7b6b%2Fzt53eds_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
