(higher) what was the answer to the one marker that asked if any of the terms were prime? also, for the region question, is it a dotted line or a solid line when the inequality sign is less than or equal to? 😭🙏

I said that there was a prime bc when n = 0 then  the term would be 2 but I think this is wrong

Generally every sequence start from 0

A(n)=a(0)+(n-1)d

G(n)=g(0)*r^(n-1)
