Question

Question Given the function notation for the explicitly defined sequence f(n)=2n−1 , find the fifth term of the sequence.(1 point)

Answer 1

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

So, we calculate \( f(5) \):

\[
f(5) = 2(5) - 1
\]
\[
= 10 - 1
\]
\[
= 9
\]

Therefore, the fifth term of the sequence is \( \boxed{9} \).
