Given the formula, find the first five terms and the 10th term of each
sequence.
a n = 8 – 5n
My attempt:
a1 = 8(5)5 =a1 =5
a2=8(5)6-5=10
a3=8(5)7-5=15
a4=8(5)8-5=20
a5=8(5)9-5=25
a10=8(5)10-5=a1050?

Let's calculate the Given terms ~

[tex] \textbf{1st Term :} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_1 = 8 - 5(1)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_1 = 8 - 5[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_1 = 3[/tex]

[tex] \textbf{2nd Term :} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_2 = 8 - 5(2)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_2 = 8 - 10[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_2 = - 2[/tex]

[tex] \textbf{3rd Term :} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_3 = 8 - 5(3)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_3 = 8 - 15[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_3 = - 7[/tex]

[tex] \textbf{4th Term : } [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_4 = 8 - 5(4)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_4 = 8 -20[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_4 = - 12[/tex]

[tex] \textbf{5th Term :} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_5 = 8 - 5(5)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_5 = 8 - 25[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_5 = -17[/tex]

[tex] \textbf{10th Term :} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_{10} = 8 - 5(10)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_{10} = 8 - 50[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a_{10} = - 42[/tex]
