Question

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence? 20,23, 26...​

Answer 1

Answer:

17 + 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

20, 23,26 ..............

This is an arithmetic series

First term = a = 20

Common difference = second term -  first term

                               d = 23 - 20 = 3

nth terms = a + (n-1)*d

               = 20 + (n -1) *3

               = 20 + n*3 - 1*3

              = 20 + 3n - 3

               = 20 - 3 + 3n

              = 17 + 3n
