nth term is n squared plus three
The nth term is 5n-3 and so the next term will be 22

Given n and any number for the nth term, it is a simple matter to find a rule such that the above four numbers are the first four of a sequence and the given number in the nth position.However, the simple answer for simple questions is Un = 4n
The nth term is: 4n
> since the value rises by nine at each step and the first term is 12 the formula for > the nth term is: 12+(n-1)*9 Which simplifies to Sn = 9n + 3
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
-4, -3, 0, 5, 12, 21, 32

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.
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.
