Question

Given the function notation for the explicitly defined sequence f(n)=2n−1
, find the fifth term of the sequence.(1 point)
f(5)=

Answer 1

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

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

Calculating this:

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

So, the fifth term of the sequence is:

\[
f(5) = 9
\]
