Answer:
C) 3, 6, 11, 18...
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit form of a pattern is :[tex]a_n = n^2 + 2[/tex]
We are supposed to find the first four terms
Substitute n = 1
[tex]a_1=1^2+2=3[/tex]
Substitute n =2
[tex]a_2=2^2+2=6[/tex]
Substitute n =3
[tex]a_3=3^2+2=11[/tex]
Substitute n =4
[tex]a_4=4^2+2=18[/tex]
The first four terms are 3,6,11,18
So,option C is true
C) 3, 6, 11, 18...
