Answer to Problem 1RE

The first five terms of the given sequence are a1=−43, a2=54, a3=−65, a4=76 and a5=−87_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given sequence is {an}={(−1)n(n+3n+2)}

Calculation:

Substitute n = 1 for obtaining the first term.

a1=(−1)1(1+31+2)=−1(43)=−43

Substitute n = 2 for obtaining the second term.

a2=(−1)2(2+32+2)=1(54)=54

Substitute n = 3 for obtaining the third term.

a3=(−1)3(3+33+2)=−1(65)=−65

Substitute n = 4 for obtaining the fourth term.

a4=(−1)4(4+34+2)=1(76)=76

Substitute n = 5 for obtaining the fifth term.

a5=(−1)5(5+35+2)=−1(87)=−87

Thus, the first 5 terms of the given sequence are a1=−43, a2=54, a3=−65, a4=76 and a5=−87_
