Find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression.
3n + 5 (1 point)
A) 3, 8, 14, 20
B) 8, 11, 14, 17
C) 3, 6, 9, 12
D) 0, 8, 11, 14
A) 3, 8, 14, 20
To find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n + 5, you need to substitute values for n and calculate the corresponding terms.
We will start by substituting n = 0 into the expression 3n + 5:
3(0) + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5
Next, substitute n = 1:
3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
For n = 2:
3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
Finally, for n = 3:
3(3) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14
Therefore, the first four terms of the sequence represented by 3n + 5 are 5, 8, 11, and 14.
Out of the given answer choices, the correct choice is D) 0, 8, 11, 14, as it matches the sequence we obtained.
To find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n + 5, we substitute different values of n into the expression.
For n = 1: 3(1) + 5 = 8
For n = 2: 3(2) + 5 = 11
For n = 3: 3(3) + 5 = 14
For n = 4: 3(4) + 5 = 17
Therefore, the first four terms of the sequence are 8, 11, 14, and 17.
So, the correct answer is B) 8, 11, 14, 17.
