Question

The nth term of a different sequence is 2n+5. Show that 36 is not a term of this sequence

Answer 1

See attached table

Explanation:

36 does not appear in the sequence, as demonstrated by the table. Values for n = 15 and 16 are 35 and 37. The 5 that is added to the 2n+5 guarantees that the result will always be an odd number.
