If the nth term `a_n\ ` of a sequence is given by `a_n=n^2-n+1` write down its first five terms.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`a_{n}=n^{2}-n+1 ldots ldots` (i) is the given sequence.
Then, first 5 terms are `a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}` and `a_{5}`
`a_{1}=(1)^{2}-1+1=1`
`a_{2}=(2)^{2}-2+1=3`
