What is the nth term for 5 8 11 14 17?

The sequence 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 is an arithmetic progression where each term increases by 3. The first term (a) is 5, and the common difference (d) is 3. The nth term can be expressed using the formula: ( a_n = a + (n-1)d ). Therefore, the nth term is ( a_n = 5 + (n-1) \cdot 3 = 3n + 2 ).
