Find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression
3n+5
A.3,8,14,20
B.8,11,14,17
C.3,6,9,12
D.0,8,11,14
for the first term did you sub in n = 1 ?
for the 2nd term did you sub in n = 2 ?
.....
To find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n+5, we can substitute different values of n into the expression and determine the corresponding terms.
Let's calculate the first four terms by substituting n values in order.
For n = 1:
Term 1 = 3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
For n = 2:
Term 2 = 3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
For n = 3:
Term 3 = 3(3) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14
For n = 4:
Term 4 = 3(4) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17
The first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n+5 are 8, 11, 14, and 17.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 8, 11, 14, 17.
