the 17th term is 85, and if needed, the function is f(n)=5+5(n-1) or f(n)=5+5(16)

The 17th term is 85.

We can create a function here to solve for the 17th term easily.

Every term is increasing by 5, so we know what the function is:

y = 5x

All we need to do is replace x with 17 to find the solution.

y = 5(17)

y = 85
