Answer:
\(8,11,14,17\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule for the given sequence is
\(a_n=3n+5\)
To find the first term, we put \(n=1\) into the formula to obtain;
\(a_1=3(1)+5\)
\(a_1=3+5\)
\(a_1=8\)
To find the second term, we put \(n=2\) into the formula to obtain;
\(a_2=3(2)+5\)
\(a_2=6+5\)
\(a_2=11\)
To find the the third term, we put \(n=3\) into the formula to obtain;
\(a_3=3(3)+5\)
\(a_3=9+5\)
\(a_3=14\)
To find the first term, we put \(n=4\) into the formula to obtain;
\(a_4=3(4)+5\)
\(a_4=12+5\)
\(a_4=17\)
The first four terms of the sequence is
\(8,11,14,17\)
