What is the value of the first term of the sequence a n =n-1 ?
the first term is when n=1
so plug it in
a_1 = 1-1
-1
To find the value of the first term of the sequence, you can substitute the value of "n" with 1 in the expression for "a_n".
So, let's substitute n = 1 in the expression a_n = n - 1:
a_1 = 1 - 1
Simplifying, we have:
a_1 = 0
Therefore, the value of the first term of the sequence a_n = n - 1 is 0.
To find the value of the first term of the sequence an = n - 1, we need to substitute the value of n with 1.
So, let's plug in n = 1 into the sequence:
a1 = (1) - 1
= 0
Therefore, the value of the first term of the sequence a1 = 0.
