Here's the Solution to this Question

Let us start a sequence from f(0)=a. We have next table:



\begin{matrix} x & 0 & 1 & 2 & \dots & n \\ f(x) & a & a+5 & a+5+7 & \dots & a+\sum\limits_{k=1}^n (2k+3) \end{matrix}


So, f(n)-f(n-1)=a+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n} (2k+3)-a-\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n-1} (2k+3)=2n+3 and 2n+3 \in \{5,7,9,\dots\}

Moreover, f(n)=a+\sum\limits_{k=1}^n (2k+3)=a+2\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+3n=a+n^2+4n
