If the pattern continues, so that each term is separated by a distance of 3, then the sequence is given by the recursive rule

\begin{cases}a_1=1\\a_n=a_{n-1}+3&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

From this definition, we can write a_n in terms of a_1:

a_2=a_1+3

a_3=a_2+3=(a_1+3)+3=a_1+2\cdot3

a_4=a_3+3=(a_1+2\cdot3)+3=a_1+3\cdot3

a_5=a_4+3=(a_1+3\cdot3)+3=a_1+4\cdot3

and so on, up to

a_n=a_1+(n-1)\cdot3

(notice how the subscript on <em>a</em> and coefficient on 3 add up to <em>n</em>)

or

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