The first term is 10.
Dividing (say) the 3rd term by the 2nd term gives 40/20 = 2
Dividing any two successive terms in this manner results in the same answer.
Then 2 is the common ratio.
The general formula for the nth term of a Geometric Progression or Series is :-
a(n) = ar^n-1.....where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
For the pattern provided, a(n) = 10 x 2^n-1

How do you find the nth term?
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.
How do you find the nth term of something?
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.
How do you find the nth term of an arethmetic sequence?
The nth term is Un = a + (n-1)*d where a = U1 is the first term, and d is the common difference.

What is the nth term for 5 11 17 23 29?
35 * * * * * That is the next term. The question, however, is about the nth term. And that is 6*n - 1
What is the nth term for 1 7 13 19?
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.
