Answer 2

Answer:

Yes 3n+5 CAN be the nth term of an AP  

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 'n' in 3n+5

a1=3(1)+5=8  } first term

a2=3(2)+5=11   } second term

a3=3(3)+5=14 } third term

a4=3(4)+5=17 } fourth term

We can observe that there is a common difference of 3.

Therefore it forms an A.P

This is the resulting A.p : 8, 11, 14, 17
