    The equation is given as:

    a (n) = n^2 - a (n - 1)

    There is already a value given at a (5), which is 141/4

    So, we need to know what the value of a (1), a (2) and a (3).

    Finding a (1) is hard because it's the start. The only value we have is a (5) = 141/4.

    a (1) = 21.25

    a (2) = - 18.75

    a (3) = 26.25

    a (4) = - 11.75

    a (5) = 35.25a (6) = 0.75a (7) = 48.25a (8) = 15.75a (9) = 65.25a (10) = 34.75
