The correct Answer is:
To find the first four terms of the sequence whose nth term is given by the formula \( t_n = \frac{n^2 + 1}{n} \), we will substitute the values of \( n \) from 1 to 4 into the formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate \( t_1 \)**: \[ t_1 = \frac{1^2 + 1}{1} = \frac{1 + 1}{1} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \] 2. **Calculate \( t_2 \)**: \[ t_2 = \frac{2^2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \] 3. **Calculate \( t_3 \)**: \[ t_3 = \frac{3^2 + 1}{3} = \frac{9 + 1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \] 4. **Calculate \( t_4 \)**: \[ t_4 = \frac{4^2 + 1}{4} = \frac{16 + 1}{4} = \frac{17}{4} \] ### Summary of the First Four Terms: - \( t_1 = 2 \) - \( t_2 = \frac{5}{2} \) - \( t_3 = \frac{10}{3} \) - \( t_4 = \frac{17}{4} \) Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are: \[ 2, \frac{5}{2}, \frac{10}{3}, \frac{17}{4} \]
