(a) Replace value of n = 1, 2, 3, and 4
The result of sequence you will find is
-1, 5, 15, 29.
(b) Comparing both sequence, you will noticed that is additional +4 in each term of sequence. Then, for the new n-th term now become (2n^2 - 3) + 4 = 2n^2 + 1.

Hi happy, thanks so much for helping! I don’t understand the second sentence, why 84 / 2 + 8 / 2? Can you explain thank you!

Cause each packet has a decrease in 2 erasers -that were later boxed up, you divide the no. of erasers taken out of the original box and which is 84+8 and divide it by 2 to find the number of boxes

I see! The diff of 2 (each) actually indicates how many boxes (groups) there are! So total (84+8) divide by each (2)will give groups (boxes). Wow thanks for clearing it up!
