Find the first six terms of the sequence. a₁ = 7, a_n = a_{n - 1} + 6

Solution:

Given, a₁ = 7

a_n = a_n-1 + 6

We have to find the first six terms.

The given series is an arithmetic sequence, with a common difference of 6.

Here, a = 7

$a_{2} = a_{2-1} + 6\\a_{2} = a_{1} + 6\\a_{2} = 7 + 6\\a_{2} =13$

$a_{3} = a_{3-1} + 6\\a_{3} = a_{2} + 6\\a_{3} = 13 + 6\\a_{2} = 19$

$a_{4} = a_{4-1} + 6\\a_{4}=a_{3} + 6\\a_{4} = 19 + 6\\a_{2} = 25$

$a_{5} = a_{5-1} + 6\\a_{5} = a_{4} + 6\\a_{5} = 25 + 6\\a_{2} = 31$

$a_{6} = a_{6-1} + 6\\a_{6} = a_{5} + 6\\a_{6} = 31+6\\a_{2} = 37$

Therefore, the first six terms of the sequence are 7, 13, 19, 25, 31 and 37.

Find the first six terms of the sequence. a₁ = 7, a_n = a_{n - 1} + 6

Summary:

The first six terms of the sequence a₁ = 7, a_n = a_{n - 1} + 6 are 7, 13, 19, 25, 31 and 37.
