Clarification on set of assigned homework problems

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The homework assignment requires students to solve problems based on the formula 4n + 1, where N represents the set of natural numbers {1, 2, 3...}. This results in the specific problems 5, 9, 13, and so forth. The consensus among participants indicates that the instructor intends for students to complete every other odd-numbered problem starting from 5. This interpretation aligns with the mathematical expression provided.

Hello everyone,

For homework my instructor assigned problem from the book. To show which problems to do she wrote this: 4n + 1 N={1, 2, 3...}. Does this mean problems 5, 9, 13, . . . ?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yeah, now that I look at the problem again I think she just wants us to do every other odd.
