Explanation
The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d, where: aₙ is the nth term of the sequence a₁ is the first term of the sequence n is the term number (e.g., 1st term, 2nd term, etc.) d is the common difference between consecutive terms For example, if the first term (a₁) is 2 and the commo n difference (d) is 3, then the 5th term (a₅) would be calculated as follows: a₅ = 2 + (5 - 1)3 = 2 + 4 * 3 = 2 + 12 = 14
