rishavraj (rishavraj):

\[a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont think we need the formula for this one

rishavraj (rishavraj):

a_n is the nth term and a_1 is the first term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5=3+(n-1)d

rishavraj (rishavraj):

a_n is the nth term ...u need to find tht a_1 is the first term i.e 3 and d = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5=3+(n-1)5
