The sequences in Exercises 13–18 are defined using recursion formulas. Write the first four terms of each sequence. a1=4 and an=2an-1 + 3 for n≥2

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the first term of the sequence, which is given as \(a_1 = 4\).
Use the recursive formula \(a_n = 2a_{n-1} + 3\) to find the second term by substituting \(n=2\): calculate \(a_2 = 2a_1 + 3\).
Find the third term by substituting \(n=3\) into the recursive formula: calculate \(a_3 = 2a_2 + 3\).
Find the fourth term by substituting \(n=4\) into the recursive formula: calculate \(a_4 = 2a_3 + 3\).
List the first four terms as \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(a_3\), and \(a_4\) after calculating each term step-by-step using the recursive formula.

Recursive Sequence Definition

A recursive sequence is defined by specifying the first term(s) and a formula that relates each term to one or more previous terms. Understanding how to use the given formula to find subsequent terms is essential for generating the sequence.

Substitution Method for Finding Terms

To find terms in a recursive sequence, substitute the previous term(s) into the recursive formula step-by-step. This process involves calculating each term in order, starting from the initial term, to determine the next terms.
