What are the first 5 terms of 30-n^2

29, 26, 21, 14, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 5 terms, substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into the n th term formula.

30 - 1² = 30 - 1 = 29

30 - 2² = 30 - 4 = 26

30 - 3² = 30 - 9 = 21

30 - 4² = 30 - 16 = 14

30 - 5² = 30 - 25 = 5

The first 5 terms are 29, 26, 21, 14, 5

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.
