The nth term of a sequence is 3n2 - 1

a) Find the second term of the sequence:

b) Find the fifth term of the sequence.

Answer: (a) 11

(b) 74

Step-by-step explanation: To find the second term, it implies that the value of n = 2, what you need to do is to substitute n = 2 into the given formula

i. e 3 (2^2) - 1

3 (4) - 1

12 - 1

= 11

Also to find the fifth term, it means n = 5

substitute that into the formula and you get 74
