Answer:
(a) 
(b) nth term: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a)
Given

The first 3 terms.
When n = 1



When n = 2



When n = 3



So, the first three terms are:

Solving (b)
Given

Required
The nth term
The sequence is arithmetic.
So, first calculate the common difference (d)


The nth term is then calculated as:

Where

So:
and 


Collect like terms


what i would do is implant some number under 5 for the X's.
Then work it out as if 3 was x so for instance -4(8-3x3)
Answer:
Volume = 5625ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a triangular prism = 1/2bhl
1/2 x base x height x length
Therefore we have in this case
Base = 15ft
Height = 30ft
Length = 25ft
Volume = 1/2 x 30 x 25 x 15
Volume = 5625ft³
Sorry it's wonky but I hope you get it if you don't I can explain again
