Find the second, fifth, and ninth terms of each sequence. may you show us this entire problem worked out so we may see how to do it, the book gives a very vague example, TY!!

To find the second (2nd) term, substitute 2 in place of n
and simplify:







So the second term A(2) is 5

----------

To find the fifth (5th) term, substitute 5 in place of n
and simplify:







So the fifth term A(5) is 14

----------

To find the ninth (9th) term, substitute 9 in place of n
and simplify:







So the ninth term A(9) is 26

----------

For your information, here are the first 100 terms 
all worked out:
