What is the nth term of the arithmetic progression 5, 14, 23, 32, ...?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a_n = 9n − 4

The governing concept is the nth-term formula for an arithmetic progression: aₙ = a₁ + (n − 1)d. The first term is a₁ = 5, and the common difference is d = 14 − 5 = 9. Therefore aₙ = 5 + (n − 1)9 = 5 + 9n − 9 = 9n − 4, so option A is correct. Substitution provides several checks: for n = 1, the rule gives 9 − 4 = 5; for n = 2, it gives 18 − 4 = 14; and for n = 3, it gives 27 − 4 = 23. Option B has the correct coefficient of n but an incorrect constant, while options C and D do not reproduce both the first term and the common difference. Thus only A represents the given progression for every positive integer n.
