The rule in this case is that there are no numbers in any position.
a maths solution
They are all square numbers, and 170 isn't a square number. Very easy..
22 - 3n
once in a lower (subscript) position
4n+5
29,23,17,11
In the study of sequences, given a number n, the position to term rule tells you how the nth term of the sequence is calculated.
a maths solution
It is the description of a rule which describes how the terms of a sequence are defined in terms of their position in the sequence.
They are all square numbers, and 170 isn't a square number. Very easy..
22 - 3n
once in a lower (subscript) position
it means the term to term use of one hundred than have to divide by three
4n+5
a position to term rule is a number sequence that carries on through a sequenced pattern that is uneven.For example:7, 9, 11, 13, 15STOP THIS IS WRONG2, 4, 8, 16, 32CORRECTbecause it is not something you would guess, not just adding, but doubling.
The nth term is 4n - 3
The nth term = 9n-2
