Explanation Definition used: Infinite Sequence: An infinite sequence is denoted by { a n } , is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers. The functional values a 1 , a 2 , a 3 ⋯ , a n , ⋯ are the terms of the sequence and the term a n is called the n th term of the sequence. Calculation: Let { a n } = { 2 n − 1 n ! } . Find the first five terms of the sequence { a n } = { 2 n − 1 n ! } as follows. Substitute n = 1 in a n = 2 n − 1 n ! . a 1 = 2 1 − 1 1 ! = 2 0 1 ! = 1 1 = 1 Substitute n = 2 in a n = 2 n − 1 n ! . a 2 = 2 2 − 1 2 ! = 2 2 × 1 = 2 2 = 1 Substitute n = 3 in a n = 2 n − 1 n !
