Here are the first five terms of an arithmetic sequence
5 8 11 14 17
Find an expression for the nth term of this sequence:
A: 3n+2
B: 5n+3
C: add 3 each times
D: 3n
the difference between each term is 3 meaning it’s 3n. if you then take away 3 from the first term you are left with 2. this means the nth term is 3n+2
