Math Problem Statement

Soit la suite \( v_n \) une suite définie pour tout n entier naturel par \( v_n = 8n - 3 \). Indiquer dans chaque cas la bonne réponse.

Solution

The image contains a mathematical question in French related to a sequence vnv_n, defined by vn=8n3v_n = 8n - 3, where nn is a natural number. There are three sub-questions to be answered.

Let's break it down:

Sequence Formula:

The sequence vnv_n is defined by vn=8n3v_n = 8n - 3.

Question 1: Le premier terme de la suite est :

You are asked to find the first term of the sequence. To find this, substitute n=1n = 1 into the formula: v1=8(1)3=83=5.v_1 = 8(1) - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5. So, the first term is 5, corresponding to option c.

Question 2: Le deuxième terme de la suite est :

You are asked to find the second term. Substitute n=2n = 2: v2=8(2)3=163=13.v_2 = 8(2) - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13. Thus, the second term is 13, corresponding to option a.

Question 3: L'expression de vn+1v_{n+1} en fonction de nn est :

To express vn+1v_{n+1} in terms of nn, substitute n+1n+1 into the formula: vn+1=8(n+1)3=8n+83=8n+5.v_{n+1} = 8(n+1) - 3 = 8n + 8 - 3 = 8n + 5. So, the expression is 8n+58n + 5, which corresponds to option b.

Summary of Correct Answers:

  1. Le premier terme: v1=5v_1 = 5option c.
  2. Le deuxième terme: v2=13v_2 = 13option a.
  3. L'expression de vn+1v_{n+1}: vn+1=8n+5v_{n+1} = 8n + 5option b.

Would you like more details or have any questions about this?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How can you derive a general formula for the nn-th term of a linear sequence?
  2. What would be the 5th term of the sequence vn=8n3v_n = 8n - 3?
  3. How can you determine whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric?
  4. What is the common difference in the sequence vn=8n3v_n = 8n - 3?
  5. How do you express the general term vnv_n when given a recursive definition?

Tip: Always substitute values carefully in sequence formulas to avoid errors when calculating specific terms.
