To find the first three terms, plug 1, 2, and 3 in for n:Term 1: 2(1) - 1 = 1Term 2: 2(2) - 1 = 3Term 3: 2(3) - 1 = 5

You use the FOIL method. First terms Outer terms Inner terms Last terms.
We need the common difference to accurately get the first term and then use it to find the sum of the first 20 terms.
What is the sum of the first 27 terms of the geometric sequence -3, 3, - 3, 3, . . . ?
Which sequence? Oh, that one! The first three terms are 1, 2 and 72.
To find the first 5 terms, plug 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in for n:3*1-3 = 03*2-3 = 33*3-3 = 63*4-3 = 93*5-3 = 12The first five terms are 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12.
Well, honey, the first three terms for 3n + 7 are 10, 13, and 16. Just plug in n = 1, 2, and 3, and you'll see those numbers pop out like daisies in spring. Math can be a piece of cake once you get the hang of it!
it is 8.

To find the first three terms, plug 1, 2, and 3 in for n:Term 1: 2(1) - 1 = 1Term 2: 2(2) - 1 = 3Term 3: 2(3) - 1 = 5
Suppose the first term is a, the second is a+r and the nth is a+(n-1)r. Then the sum of the first five = 5a + 10r = 85 and the sum of the first six = 6a + 15r = 123 Solving these simultaneous equations, a = 3 and r = 7 So the first four terms are: 3, 10, 17 and 24
3, 15, 75, 375
100-3(1) = 100-3 = 97 100-3(2) = 100-6 = 94 100-3(3) = 100-9 = 91 Over here N is the first 3 terms, 1, 2, and 3.
