What are the first seven terms shown in the column with the heading $u(n)\text{?}$

Use the scroll-down arrow to scroll to $n=50.$ What value is given for $u(n)\text{?}$

Press [WINDOW] . Set $n\text{Min}=1,n\text{Max}=5,x\text{Min}=0,x\text{Max}=6,y\text{Min}=-1,$ and $y\text{Max}=14.$ Then press [GRAPH] . Graph the sequence as it appears on the graphing calculator.

What are the first seven terms shown in the column with the heading $u(n)$ in the TABLE feature?

Graph the sequence as it appears on the graphing calculator. Be sure to adjust the WINDOW settings as needed.
