Question

Given the explicit formula for the sequence in function notation, find the 5th term of the sequence.

f(n) = 2n−1

(1 point)
f(5) =

Question 4
26.

Answer 1

To find the 5th term of the sequence given by the function \( f(n) = 2n - 1 \), we substitute \( n = 5 \) into the formula:

\[
f(5) = 2(5) - 1
\]

Calculating it step by step:

\[
f(5) = 10 - 1 = 9
\]

Thus, the 5th term of the sequence is:

\[
\boxed{9}
\]
