QuestionFind the sequence defined by . Which set matches? , , , ?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The formula for the sequence is . We need to find the sequence that correctly applies this formula
STEP 2
The formula means that each term in the sequence is the position of that term plus4.
STEP 3
Let's test the first sequence . According to our formula, the first term when n=1 should be , but in this sequence, the first term is9. So, this sequence is incorrect.
STEP 4
Let's test the second sequence . According to our formula, the first term when n=1 should be , but in this sequence, the first term is4. So, this sequence is also incorrect.
STEP 5
Let's test the third sequence . According to our formula, the first term when n=1 should be , but in this sequence, the first term is4. So, this sequence is also incorrect.
STEP 6
Let's test the fourth sequence . According to our formula, the first term when n=1 should be , which matches the first term in this sequence. Let's continue to check the rest of the sequence.
STEP 7
For the second term when n=2, our formula gives , which matches the second term in this sequence.
STEP 8
For the third term when n=3, our formula gives , which matches the third term in this sequence.So, the correct sequence according to the formula is .
