Given the sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, ..., where x = 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., what is the first term in the sequence?

5

6

7

8

The first term in the sequence is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is 5,6,7,8, ...

The first term = 5 The second term = 6 The third term = 7

where x = 1,2,3,4, ...

The sequence follows the pattern (x+4).

For x=1, then (1+4) = 5 which is the first term of the sequence.

Similarly,

For x=2, then (2+4) = 6 which is the second term of the sequence and the sequence follows the same pattern.
