These are the first four terms of a sequence.

5, 8, 11, 14

Find an expression in terms of n, for the nth term.

2+3n

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is based on a topic called sequence and series,under which we have the arithmetic progression

The formula for arithmetic progression is a+(n-1)d

In which a is the first number,n is the nth term and d is the difference

Back to the question

a=5,n=it's not given,d=3

Using the general formula

a+(n-1)d

5+(n-1)3

Open the bracket first

5+3n-3

Collect like terms

5-3+3n

2+3n

The answer is 2+3n

And it can be solved further only if we are given the value of n...the question even stated that we should solve in terms of n

Therefore the answer is 2+3n

answer: 12
