# Six terms

Find the first six terms of the sequence
a1 = -3, an = 2 * an-1

Result

a1 =  -3
a2 =  -6
a3 =  -12
a4 =  -24
a5 =  -48
a6 =  -96

#### Solution:

$a_{1}=-3$
$a_{2}=2 \cdot \ a_{1}=2 \cdot \ (-3)=-6$
$a_{3}=2 \cdot \ a_{2}=2 \cdot \ (-6)=-12$
$a_{4}=2 \cdot \ a_{3}=2 \cdot \ (-12)=-24$
$a_{5}=2 \cdot \ a_{4}=2 \cdot \ (-24)=-48$
$a_{6}=2 \cdot \ a_{5}=2 \cdot \ (-48)=-96$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
