can you answer the bottom post for What is the general term for the sequence 1,6,11,16,...? n + 5 5n - 4 5n + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The numbers are obviously all five apart, so the general sequence would be 1+5n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about \[\sum_{n=1}^{3} 3n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the answeres 6 9 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 5n-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thank you tho

That would not work as first off you're looking for a sequence, not a sum (if I'm not mistaken). Also, the numbers that you gain from that sum do not represent the sequence that is posted up above. The numbers you get from the sum are 3,6,9,12,.... If you're looking for a partial sum to fulfill the sequence 6,9,18, then I would suggest the following:\[6+\sum_{n=1}^{N}3^n\]
