To find nth term of arithmetic sequence, we use a_n formula.
`a_n = a+(n-1)d `
Given `a_1 = a = 5` and `d= 6`
when
`n= 2, a_2 = a+(2-1)d = a+d = 5+6 = 11 `
when
`n= 3, a_3 = a+(3-1)d = a+ 2d = 5 + 12 = 17 `
when
`n= 4, a_4 = a+(4-1) d = a+3d = 5 + 18 = 23 `
when
`n= 5, a_5 = a+(5-1)d = a+ 4d = 5 + 24 = 29 `
Hence the first five terms of the sequence is 5, 11,17, 23 and 29
