Answer:
[tex]S_5=\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The sum of first n term of a sequence is[tex]S_n=20-\dfrac{10}{2n-1}[/tex]
We need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.
Put n = 5,
[tex]S_5=20-\dfrac{10}{2(5)-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{10-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex]
So, the sum of first 5 terms is equal to [tex]\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex].
