Find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression

3n+5

8, 11, 14, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the first four terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the expression

n = 1 → 3 (1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8

n = 2 → 3 (2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

n = 3 → 3 (3) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14

n = 4 → 3 (4) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

Thus the first 4 terms are 8, 11, 14, 17
