We can recognize the sequence is an arithmetic progression by noticing that the common difference between each term is 6.
[tex]f(n) = a+(n-1)d[/tex]
where f(n) is the sequence 
n is the term number
d is the common difference 
and a is the starting term

We are well aware that our starting term, and hence a, is 2 and our difference, and hence d, is 6.
So our polynomial function is 
[tex]f(n) = 2+6(n-1)[/tex]
