Answer

$\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{10},\frac{1}{28},\frac{1}{82},\frac{1}{244}$

Work Step by Step

$a_{n}=\frac{1}{3^{n}+1}$ Substitute $1,2,3,4,5$ to $n$: $a_{1}=\frac{1}{3^{1}+1}=\frac{1}{4}$ $a_{2}=\frac{1}{3^{2}+1}=\frac{1}{10}$ $a_{3}=\frac{1}{3^{3}+1}=\frac{1}{28}$ $a_{4}=\frac{1}{3^{4}+1}=\frac{1}{82}$ $a_{5}=\frac{1}{3^{5}+1}=\frac{1}{244}$
