Question 7 (5 points)
find the first five terms of the sequence in which a1 =-10 and an = 4an - 1 + 7. if n
2.

-10, -33, -125, -493, -1965

Step-by-step explanation:

a_1 = -10

a_n = 4a_(n - 1) + 7

The first five terms of the sequence are

a_1 =                                             -10

a_2 = 4(-10) + 7     =   -40 + 7 =    -33

a_3 = 4(-33) + 7    =  -132 + 7 =   -125

a_4 = 4(-125) + 7  = -500 + 7 =   -493

a_5 = 4(-473) + 7 = -1972 + 7 = -1965

step-by-step explanation:

no solution.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested
