Which answer is the explicit rule for the sequence 5,11,17,23,29 ... ?

an=1-6n

an=-1-6n

an=1+6n

an=-1+6n

The answer would be 6n-1

an = 6n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

5,11,17,23,29 ...

If you look at the difference between each term, we are adding 6 each time

11-5 = 6, 17-11 = 6, 23 - 17 = 6

The formula for a sequence is

an = a1 + d (n-1)

a1 is 5 and d = 6

an = 5 + 6 (n-1)

an = 5+6n - 6

Combine like terms

an = 6n-1
