According to Wittgenstein's Finite Rule Paradox every finite sequence of numbers can be a described in infinitely many ways and so can be continued any of these ways - some simple, some complicated but all equally valid. Conversely, it is possible to find a rule such that any number of your choice can be the next one.


The simplest rule is un = 18 - 3n

What is the nth term for the sequence 0 4 12 24 40?

To find the nth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern or rule governing the sequence. In this case, the sequence appears to be increasing by 4, then 8, then 12, then 16, and so on. This pattern suggests that the nth term can be represented by the formula n^2 + n, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. So, the nth term for the given sequence is n^2 + n.

What is the nth term of 12 19 26 33 40?

Well, honey, looks like we've got ourselves an arithmetic sequence here with a common difference of 7. So, to find the nth term, we use the formula a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d. Plug in the values a_1 = 12, d = 7, and n to get the nth term. Math doesn't have to be a drag, darling!


what is the nth term for 12 10 8 6?

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. :)


What is the value of the nth term in the following arithmetic sequence 12 6 0 -6 ...?

To find the value of the nth term in an arithmetic sequence, you can use the formula: (a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d), where (a_n) is the nth term, (a_1) is the first term, (n) is the term number, and (d) is the common difference between terms. In this sequence, the first term (a_1 = 12) and the common difference (d = -6 - 0 = -6). So, the formula becomes (a_n = 12 + (n-1)(-6)). Simplifying this gives (a_n = 12 - 6n + 6). Therefore, the value of the nth term in this arithmetic sequence is (a_n = 18 - 6n).


What is the nth term of the sequence 18 12 6 0 -6?

To find the nth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern or rule that governs the sequence. In this case, the sequence is decreasing by 6 each time. Therefore, the nth term can be represented by the formula: 18 - 6(n-1), where n is the position of the term in the sequence.
