Write the first five terms of each of the following sequences whose nth terms are:
$ a_{n}=n^{2}-n+1 \quad $
Given:
\( a_{n}=n^{2}-n+1 \quad \)
To do:
We have to find the first five terms of the given sequence.
Solution:
$a_n=n^{2}-n+1$
Taking $n=1$, we get
$a_1=1^{2}-1+1=1$
Taking $n=2$, we get
$a_2=2^{2}-2+1=4-1=3$
Taking $n=3$, we get
$a_3=3^{2}-3+1=9-2=7$
Taking $n=4$, we get
$a_4=4^{2}-4+1=16-3=13$
Taking $n=5$, we get
$a_5=5^{2}-5+1=25-4=21$
Hence, the first five terms of the given sequence are $1, 3, 7, 13$ and $21$.
