Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is always in the linear form.

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

Here A(n) = nth term of the sequence

a = first term

n = number of term

d = common difference

Formula doesn't have the terms with the exponent.

Therefore, from the given options, expression that represents an arithmetic sequence will be,

f(n) = 3n - 4

Option (2) will be the correct option.
