9, 12,16,21,27,34,42
42 is the 7th term
9+3=12
12+4=16
16+5=21
21+6=27
27+7=34
34+8=42, the 7th term

8 + 4n
The nth term is: 4n
What is the value of the 8th term of the sequence 4, 8, 16, 32,?what is the answers?1,024,512,128or2,048.
Give the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence. Your answer will be of the form an + b.12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ...
The 19th term of the sequence is 16.
Each number in the sequence is the previous number divided by 4. Therefore the 7th term starting from 1024 is 0.25. The first 8 terms are: 1024, 256, 64, 16, 4, 1, 0.25 and 0.0625.
4 10 16 22 28 34 40 ....... Each term is increased by 6 or nth term = 6n-2

Please note that (a) this is a sequence of square numbes, and (b) the sequence starts at 22.
Clearly, if you omit the sign, the nth. term will be 4n. The alternating sign can easily be expressed as a power of (-1), so in summary, the nth. term is (-1)n4n.
