Given the function notation for the explicitly defined sequence f(n)=2n−1

, find the fifth term of the sequence.(1 point)
f(5)=

1 answer

To find the fifth term of the sequence defined by the function \( f(n) = 2n - 1 \), we need to substitute \( n = 5 \) into the function.

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

Calculating this gives:

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

Thus, the fifth term of the sequence \( f(5) \) is \( \boxed{9} \).
