Answer:

p = 5, q = 3

Explanation:

2, 14, 36, 68

+12 +22 +32

+10 +10 2nd sequence

10 / 2 = 5

Your equation starts with 5n², so p stands for 5

Find the sequence for 5n², which is:

5, 20, 45, 80

2, 14, 36, 68

Subtract the original from this, to get:

3, 6, 9, 12

+3 +3 +3

3-3 = 0

5n² + 3n

q stands for 3
