The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the first six terms of two sequences defined by their recurrence relations. ### (i) Sequence: \( a_1 = -1, a_n = \frac{a_{n-1}}{n} \) for \( n \geq 2 \) 1. **Calculate \( a_1 \)**: \[ a_1 = -1 \] 2. **Calculate \( a_2 \)**: \[ a_2 = \frac{a_1}{2} = \frac{-1}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} \] 3. **Calculate \( a_3 \)**: \[ a_3 = \frac{a_2}{3} = \frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{3} = -\frac{1}{6} \] 4. **Calculate \( a_4 \)**: \[ a_4 = \frac{a_3}{4} = \frac{-\frac{1}{6}}{4} = -\frac{1}{24} \] 5. **Calculate \( a_5 \)**: \[ a_5 = \frac{a_4}{5} = \frac{-\frac{1}{24}}{5} = -\frac{1}{120} \] 6. **Calculate \( a_6 \)**: \[ a_6 = \frac{a_5}{6} = \frac{-\frac{1}{120}}{6} = -\frac{1}{720} \] **First six terms of the sequence**: \[ a_1 = -1, \quad a_2 = -\frac{1}{2}, \quad a_3 = -\frac{1}{6}, \quad a_4 = -\frac{1}{24}, \quad a_5 = -\frac{1}{120}, \quad a_6 = -\frac{1}{720} \] --- ### (ii) Sequence: \( a_1 = 4, a_{n+1} = 2n a_n \) 1. **Calculate \( a_1 \)**: \[ a_1 = 4 \] 2. **Calculate \( a_2 \)**: \[ a_2 = 2 \cdot 1 \cdot a_1 = 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 4 = 8 \] 3. **Calculate \( a_3 \)**: \[ a_3 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot a_2 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 8 = 32 \] 4. **Calculate \( a_4 \)**: \[ a_4 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot a_3 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 32 = 192 \] 5. **Calculate \( a_5 \)**: \[ a_5 = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot a_4 = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 192 = 1536 \] 6. **Calculate \( a_6 \)**: \[ a_6 = 2 \cdot 5 \cdot a_5 = 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 1536 = 15360 \] **First six terms of the sequence**: \[ a_1 = 4, \quad a_2 = 8, \quad a_3 = 32, \quad a_4 = 192, \quad a_5 = 1536, \quad a_6 = 15360 \] --- ### Summary of Results: - For the first sequence: \[ -1, -\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{6}, -\frac{1}{24}, -\frac{1}{120}, -\frac{1}{720} \] - For the second sequence: \[ 4, 8, 32, 192, 1536, 15360 \]
