Answer:

  • The nth term is aₙ = 5n - 6

-------------------------------------

Given sequence:

  • -1, 4, 9, 14, ...

We observe that it has a linear increase and common difference of terms is 5:

  • 4 - (-1) = 9 - 4 = 14 - 9 = 5

So d = 5, a₁ = - 1, find the nth term:

  • aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d
  • aₙ = - 1 + (n - 1)*5 = - 1 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 6
