algebra????/?

hey guys im stuck on these 4 algebra questions i need some help so if you can please help me. 10points and best answer

it says to find the first, fourth, and eighth terms of each sequence.

A(n)=2*3^n-1

A(n)=3*4^n-1

A(n)=3*2^n-1

A(n)=-1*5^n-1
yea i know they are lol that why im asking for help.

*=mulitplication

^= to that power i guess

Whichever term you want to find, you substitute that number for n. (If it’s the first term n = 1, fourth term n = 4 and so on)

I’ll do the first sequence for you and then I’m sure you’ll be able to do the others.

A(n) = 2*3^n-1:

A(1) = 2*3^1-1
A(1) = 2*3^0
A(1) = 2*1 = 2

A(4) = 2*3^4-1
A(4) = 2*3^3
A(4) = 2*9 = 18

A(8) = 2*3^8-1
A(8) = 2*3^7
A(8) = 2*2187 = 4374

    A) 5, 161, 13121
    B) 11, 767, 196607
    C) 5, 47, 767
    D) -6, -626, -390626
    This took me like fifteen minutes. I hope it helps u. First number is n=1, next is 4, and then 8.
