Answer:


a_n=2n+5

Explanation:

we have the sequence


7,9,11,...

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant and this term is called a common difference

Let


a_1=7\\a_2=9\\a_3=11

we know that


a_2-a_1=9-7=2 ---->
a_2=a_1+2


a_3-a_2=11-9=2 ---->
a_3=a_2+2

The common difference is 2

This is an arithmetic sequence

The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is


a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

where

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

substitute the given values


a_n=7+2(n-1)


a_n=7+2n-2


a_n=2n+5
