Generate the first five terms in the sequence using the explicit formula. cn = 12n - 11

The first step to take is to express the equation in terms of c alone. The function is cn = 12n - 11. Isolating c, c = (12n - 11) / n. we substitute n from 1 to 5, then when

n = 1; c = (12*1 - 11) / 1 = 1

n = 2; c = (12*2 - 11) / 2 = 13/2

n = 3; c = (12*3 - 11) / 3 = 25/3

n = 4; c = (12*4 - 11) / 4 = 37/4

n = 5; c = (12*5 - 11) / 5 = 59/5
