Multiple Choice

Write the first five terms of the sequence $a _ { n } = - \frac { 3 } { n + 4 }$ . Assume that n begins with 1.

• A) \(a _ { 1 } = \frac { 3 } { 5 } , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 3 } { 7 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 3 } { 8 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 3 }\)
• B) \(a _ { 1 } = \frac { 3 } { 4 } , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 3 } { 5 } a _ { 3 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 3 } { 7 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 3 } { 8 }\)
• C) \(a _ { 1 } = \frac { 3 } { 4 } , a _ { 2 } = \frac { 3 } { 5 } a _ { 3 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 3 } { 7 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 3 } { 8 }\)
• D) \(a _ { 1 } = - \frac { 3 } { 4 } , a _ { 2 } = \frac { 3 } { 5 } a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 3 } { 7 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 3 } { 8 }\)
• E) \(a _ { 1 } = - \frac { 3 } { 5 } , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } , a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 3 } { 7 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 3 } { 8 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 1 } { 3 }\)
