There is no pattern
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.
tn=5n-3
If you mean 3, 6, 9, 12 then the nth term is 3n
t(n) = t(n - 1) + (10n - 9)
The nth term is equal to 4n.
12 - 5(n-1)
The nth term of the sequence is expressed by the formula 8n - 4.
The nth term is 5n-3 and so the next term will be 22
nth term is n squared plus three
Here are the first five terms of a sequence. 12 19 26 33 40 Find an expression for the nth term of this sequence.

24 - 6n
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 sequence has a difference of 10, so the nth term starts with 10n. Then to get to -8 from 10 you need to subtract 18. So the nth term is 10n - 18.
The nth term of the sequence -4 4 12 20 29 is 8n+12 because each time the sequence is adding 8 which is where the 8n comes from. Then you take 8 away from -4 and because a - and - equal a + the answer is 12. Which is where the 12 comes from. Hope I helped.

The nth term would be -2n+14 nth terms: 1 2 3 4 Sequence:12 10 8 6 This sequence has a difference of -2 Therefore it would become -2n. Replace n with 1 and you would get -2. To get to the first term you have to add 14. Therefore the sequence becomes -2n+14. To check your answer replace n with 2, 3 or 4. You will still obtain the number in the sequence that corresponds to the nth term. :)
