If the nth term of a sequence is known, it is possible to work out any number in that sequence. Write the first five terms of the sequence \(3n + 4\). \(n\) represents the position in the sequence.

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
