t_n = 2 n^{2} + n - 3
For the following sequencesn state the explicit rule that describes T_n in terms of n.
A sequence starts with a first term of 1300 and each subsequent term increases by 2.5\% of the previous term.
A sequence starts with a first term of 44 and each term is 77 more than the previous term.
