Question
Let the sequence $a_n$ be defined as follow: $a_1=1, a_n=a_{n-1}+2$ for $n \geq 2$
Find first five terms and write corresponding series.

Answer

Given,
$a_1=1, a_2=a_1+2=1+2=3, a_3=a_2+2=3+2=5$
$a_4=a_3+2=5+2=7, a_5=a_4+2=7+2=9$
Thus, the first five terms of the sequence are $1,3,5,7$ and 9
The corresponding series is $1+3+5+7+9+\ldots$
