The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will find the first three terms of the sequences defined by the given formulas. ### (i) For the sequence defined by \( a_n = n(n + 2) \): 1. **Calculate \( a_1 \)**: \[ a_1 = 1(1 + 2) = 1 \times 3 = 3 \] 2. **Calculate \( a_2 \)**: \[ a_2 = 2(2 + 2) = 2 \times 4 = 8 \] 3. **Calculate \( a_3 \)**: \[ a_3 = 3(3 + 2) = 3 \times 5 = 15 \] Thus, the first three terms of the sequence \( a_n = n(n + 2) \) are: \[ 3, 8, 15 \] ### (ii) For the sequence defined by \( a_n = \frac{n}{n + 1} \): 1. **Calculate \( a_1 \)**: \[ a_1 = \frac{1}{1 + 1} = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. **Calculate \( a_2 \)**: \[ a_2 = \frac{2}{2 + 1} = \frac{2}{3} \] 3. **Calculate \( a_3 \)**: \[ a_3 = \frac{3}{3 + 1} = \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, the first three terms of the sequence \( a_n = \frac{n}{n + 1} \) are: \[ \frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{4} \] ### Final Answers: - For \( a_n = n(n + 2) \): **3, 8, 15** - For \( a_n = \frac{n}{n + 1} \): **\(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{4}\)** ---
