hi i'm Robyn and i'm 13, i am super confused with how you find the nth term with a changing difference, i can totally do it without the changing difference but not with. Especially the formula throws me:

nth term= a+(n-1)d+1/2(n-1)(n-2)c

how would i use it if the sequence was:

2, 4, 7, 11 

and I needed to find the 5th term. pleeeeease help Robyn.
