Step-by-step explanation:
You already know that we use tn=an²+bn+c for these kinds of sequences:
4, 7, 14, 25, ...
now
7–3=4
So 2a=4===> a=2
[tex] a_{1} = 4 = = > n = 1 \\ 4 = 2 \times {1}^{2} + b + c = = = = > \\ b + c = 2[/tex]
[tex] a_{2} = 7 = = > n = 2 = = = > \\ 7 = 2 \times {2}^{2} + 2 \times b + c = = = > \\ - 1 = 2b + c[/tex]
b=–3, c=5
So the final result is:
[tex] t_{n} = 2 {n}^{2} - 3n + 5[/tex]
