Write an expression for the apparent nth term of the sequence. (Assume that n begins with 1.)
5, 8, 11, 14, 17
a. a (small) n=3^n+2
b. a (small) n =(−1)^n(3n+2) c. an =3n d. a (small) n =2n+3 e. a (small) n =3n+2
It is "c" =an=3n
The correct answer is "e" → 3n + 2
3(1) + 2 = 5
3(2) + 2 = 8
3(3) + 2 = 11
3(4) + 2 = 14
3(5) + 2 = 17 ..... !!!!
