3. Using the following expression: 4n - 2, where n represents the position of the term in the sequence, find the first four terms in the sequence. (HINT: put 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the term numbers in place of n) *
A) 2, 6, 10, 14
B) -1, 0, 1, 2
C) 4, 8, 12, 16
D) 1, 2, 3, 4
i think its c
the first tern is 4 - 2 = 2
the second term is 8 - 2 = 6
To find the first four terms in the sequence using the given expression 4n - 2, we substitute the term numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 for n:
For the first term (n = 1):
4(1) - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
For the second term (n = 2):
4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
For the third term (n = 3):
4(3) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10
For the fourth term (n = 4):
4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14
Therefore, the first four terms in the sequence are 2, 6, 10, and 14, which corresponds to option A) 2, 6, 10, 14.
