If the first term in a sequence is 5 and the common difference is 3… write the explicit formula

= 3n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term( explicit formula ) of an arithmetic sequence is

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 5 and d = 3 , then

= 5 + 3(n - 1) = 5 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 2

i believe the correct answer is b.

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
