Find a formula for the nth term of the sequence.
-5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (integers beginning with 5) 
A) $a _ { n } = n - 5$
B) $a _ { n } = n + 6$
C) $a _ { n } = n + 4$
D) $a _ { n } = n + 5$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence starts at 5 and increases by 1 for each subsequent term. To find the nth term, we start with n and add 4 to get to the starting point of 5 when n=1. Therefore, the formula is $a_n = n + 4$.
