Given :
The sequence is -5 , -2 , 3 , 10 , 19 .
To Find :
The nth term of the given sequence .
Solution :
Difference between first 2 terms :
-2 - ( -5 ) = 3 1 term
3 - ( -2 ) = 5 2 term
10 - 3 = 7 3 term
19 - 10 = 9 4 term
From the above observation we can say that difference is increasing in odd number .
So, the nth term will be :
[tex]a_{n+1}= -5 + (2n+1)[/tex] for n greater than equal to 0.
Hence, this is the required solution.
