Which of the following is the correct formula in finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

• a_n = a₁ + (n - 1)d

• a_n = a₁ + (n + 1)d

• a_n = a₁ - (n - 1)d

• a_n = a₁ +- (n + 1)d

Write an explicit formula for a_n​, the nth term of the sequence 9, 13, 17, ...

• a_n = 9 + 4(n-1)

• a_n = 9 - 4(n-1)

• a_n = 9 + 4(n)

• a_n = 9 * 4^n-1
