To determine

(a)

To find:

The specified value of A1 from the given sequence.

Answer to Problem 1E

Solution:

The value of A1 is 2.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sequence with an explicit formula AN=N2+1.

Calculation:

The given sequence is AN=N2+1.

To obtain A1 substitute 1 for N in the above formula.

A1=12+1=2

Therefore, the value of A1 is 2.

Conclusion:

The value of A1 is 2.

(b)

To find:

The specified value of A100 from the given sequence.

Answer to Problem 1E

Solution:

The value of A100 is 10001.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sequence with an explicit formula AN=N2+1.

Calculation:

The given sequence is AN=N2+1.

To obtain A100 substitute 100 for N in the above formula.

A100=1002+1=10001

Therefore, the value of A100 is 10001.

Conclusion:

The value of A100 is 10001.

(c)

To find:

The value of N for the given value of AN.

Answer to Problem 1E

Solution:

The value of N is 3.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sequence with an explicit formula AN=N2+1.

The given value of AN is 10.

Calculation:

The given sequence is AN=N2+1.

Substitute 10 for AN in the above formula.

10=N2+1N2=101N=9=3

Therefore, the value of N is 3.

Conclusion:

The value of N is 3.
