    f (n) = 2 + 5n. This is an arithmetic sequence.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    f (1) = 7

    f (2) = 7 + 5

    f (3) = 7 + 5 + 5 = 7 + 10

    f (4) = 7 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 7 + 15

    In general,

    f (n) = 7 + 5 (n - 1)

    = 7 + 5n - 5

    = 2 + 5n

    We have the sequence 7, 12, 17, 22, 27 ...

    This is an arithmetic sequence, because it is a sequence of numbers in which the common difference between consecutive terms is 5.
