Answer
$a_1=3$
$a_2=9$
$a_3=15$
$a_4=21$
$a_5=27$
Work Step by Step
Sequence parameter.
$a_n=6n-3$
In order to find the nth term of a sequence, substitute n into the sequence parameter. Thus, to find the first 5 terms, we substitute n =1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
$a_1=6(1)-3=3$
$a_2=6(2)-3=9$
$a_3=6(3)-3=15$
$a_4=6(4)-3=21$
$a_5=6(5)-3=27$
