Answer:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 5n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms have a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

8 - 3 = 13 - 8 = 18 - 13 = 5

This means the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference, thus

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2
