First look for the difference between the terms, for example the sequence:
5, 8, 11, 14... has a difference of 3.
This means the sequence follows the 3 times table - i.e. 3n
Now since we need the first term to be 5 we add 2 to our rule to make it work.
So the nth term of this sequence is 3n + 2.
Say if you had the pattern 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 To find the nth term you have to see what the gap between the numbers is. In our case this is 5. Then you have to find out what the difference between the gap and the first number. In this sequence it is 10. So your answer would be..... 5n+10 That's how you find the nth term.
That depends what information you are given. For example, if you are given the formula for the nth term, you can calculate it directly - substituting "n" with the number.
The nth term is Un = a + (n-1)*d where a = U1 is the first term, and d is the common difference.
A single number, such as 8163264, does not form a sequence.
i dont get it
The nth term is n2 + 4n.
It is not possible to find the nth term from the given information.

my nth term maths is very tuff because its syallabus is changed
You don't.
That depends what information you are given. For example, if you are given the formula for the nth term, you can calculate it directly - substituting "n" with the number.
It means to work out a suitable nth term that is applicable to all terms of a sequence of numbers following a regular pattern.
The nth term is Un = a + (n-1)*d where a = U1 is the first term, and d is the common difference.
A single number, such as 8163264, does not form a sequence.
The nth term is n2.
35 * * * * * That is the next term. The question, however, is about the nth term. And that is 6*n - 1
The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 6. To find the nth term of this sequence, we can use the following formula: nth term = first term + (n - 1) x common difference where n is the position of the term we want to find. In this sequence, the first term is 1 and the common difference is 6. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: nth term = 1 + (n - 1) x 6 nth term = 1 + 6n - 6 nth term = 6n - 5 Therefore, the nth term of the sequence 1, 7, 13, 19 is given by the formula 6n - 5.
