You find the position-to-value rule for the sequence. This takes the form:
U(n) = a + n*d
where a is a constant [ = U(0), a term calculated by moving BACK one term from the first],
d is the common difference between terms, and
n is the counter or index.
Since both a and d are known, plugging in the value of n gives the nth term.
Beware, though, that some courses teach the rule as
U(n) = a' + d*(n-1) where a' is the first term.
An arithmetic sequence.
The following formula generalizes this pattern and can be used to find ANY term in an arithmetic sequence. a'n = a'1+ (n-1)d.
The 90th term of the arithmetic sequence is 461
The difference between successive terms in an arithmetic sequence is a constant. Denote this by r. Suppose the first term is a. Then the nth term, of the sequence is given by t(n) = (a-r) + n*r or a + (n-1)*r
sequence 4 5 6 sum =10 sequecnce 0 5 10 sum=10

It is a sequence of numbers which is called an arithmetic, or linear, sequence.
You divide the head with the tail and do some dancing
Add all the numbers and divide that by the number of numbers.
The set of odd numbers is an arithmetic sequence. Let say that the sequence has n odd numbers where the first term is a1 and the last one is n. The formula to find the sum on nth terms for an arithmetic sequence is: Sn = (n/2)(a1 + an) or Sn = (n/2)[2a1 + (n - 1)d] where d is the common difference that for odd numbers is 2. Sn = (n/2)(2a1 + 2n - 2)
A single number, such as 13579, does not define a sequence.
