The sequence an = 5n + 3 is the same as the sequence a1 = 8, an = an-1 + 5.
true or false
** explain! : ) ! : )

Both sequence are same, so the given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sequence is defined as

                            ..... (1)

The second sequence is defined as

It can be written as

The common difference of the sequence is

The first term of the sequence is 8 and common difference is 5.

The second sequence can defined as

                             .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we can say that both sequence are same.

Therefore the given statement is true.
