Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The sequence is arithmetic, meaning it increases by a constant difference.
. The first term of the sequence is3.
3. The common difference of the sequence is the difference between any two consecutive terms.
STEP 2
We can observe that the sequence increases by each time. This is the common difference of the sequence.
STEP 3
In an arithmetic sequence, the nth term can be found using the formulawhere is the first term, is the common difference, and is the term number.
STEP 4
Substitute the values of and into the formula.
STEP 5
implify the formula.
The formula for the sequence is .
