Learning to determine the first five terms of a sequence

The video tutorial explains how to find the first five terms of a sequence by replacing the variable N with numbers 1 through 5. Each term is calculated by raising -3 to the power of the term number and dividing by 3. The tutorial provides step-by-step calculations for each term, highlighting the changes in sign and value as the power increases.

What is the result when N is replaced with 1 in the sequence formula?

• 1

• 3

• 0

• -1

How do you calculate the second term of the sequence?

• Add 3 to the base number

• Multiply the base number by 2

• Cube the base number and divide by 3

• Square the base number and divide by 3

What is the third term of the sequence?

• -27

• 27

• 9

• -9

What is the result of raising the base number to the fourth power and dividing by 3?

• 27

• -27

• 81

• -81

What is the fifth term of the sequence?

• -81

• 81

• 243

• -243
