$a_{1}=3, a_{n}=3 a_{n-1}+2$ for $n\,>\,1$

$\Rightarrow a_{2}=3 a_{1}+2=3(3)+2=11$

$a_{3}=3 a_{2}+2=3(11)+2=35$

$a_{4}=3 a_{3}+2=3(35)+2=107$

$a_{5}=3 a_{4}+2=3(107)+2=323$

Hence, the first five terms of the sequence are $3,11,35,107$ and $323$

The corresponding series is $3+11+35+107+323+\ldots$
