Given:
The sequence is
an+1=ann
. (1)
The first term of the sequence is
a1=6
.
Calculation:
Obtain the second term of the sequence.
Substitute 1 for n in equation (1).
a1+1=a1n
a2=a11
(2)
Substitute 6 for
a1
in equation (2).
a2=61=6
Thus, the second term of the sequence is
a2=6_
.
Obtain the third term of the sequence.
Substitute 2 for n in equation (1).
a2+1=a22
a3=a22
(3)
Substitute 6 for
a2
in equation (3).
a3=62=3
Thus, the third term of the sequence is
a3=3_
.
Obtain the fourth term of the sequence.
Substitute 3 for n in equation (1).
a3+1=a33
a4=a33
(4)
Substitute 3 for
a3
in equation (4).
a4=33 =1
Thus, the fourth term of the sequence is
a4=1_
.
Obtain the fifth term of the sequence.
Substitute 4 for n in equation (1).
a4+1=a44
a5=a44
(5)
Substitute 1 for
a4
in equation (4).
a5=14
Thus, the fifth term of the sequence is
a5=14_
.
Therefore, the first five terms of the sequence are
6,6,3,1,14
.
