There are infinitely many polynomials of order 4 (or higher) that will give these as the first four numbers and any one of these could be "the" rule. Short of reading the mind of the person who posed the question, there is no way of determining which of the infinitely many solutions is the "correct" one.
The simplest rule is a linear polynomial U(n) = 6*(2 - n) for n = 1 , 2, 3, ...
6n - c = 0
When n = 2
-6(2) - c = 0
-12 -c = -
c = 12
Verification when n = 3
-6(3) + 12 =
-18 + 12= -6 As agreed.

What is the nth term of this sequence 2 8 18 32 50?
The nth term is 2n2. (One way to find that is to notice at all the numbers are even, then divide them by 2. The sequence becomes 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, which are the square numbers in order.)
What is the sequence of 10 8 6 4?
10-2x for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Since the domain of an arithmetic sequence is the set of natural numbers, then the formula for the nth term of the given sequence with the first term 10 and the common difference -2 is an = a1 + (n -1)(-2) = 10 - 2n + 2 = 12 - 2n.
What Is the nth term of the number sequence 15 12 9 6?
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 answer to this number sequence 0 12 72 240 600 1260 2352?
There can be no answer because a number sequence, in itself, is not a question.
What are the first five terms of the sequence whose nth term is -8n plus 2?
Sn = -8n + 2S0 = -8(0) + 2 = 2S1 = -8(1) + 2 = -6S2 = -8(2) + 2 = -14S3 = -8(3) + 2 = -22S4 = -8(4) + 2 = -30S5 = -8(5) + 2 = -38
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.
What is the value of the nth term in the following arithmetic sequence 12 6 0 -6 ...?
18 - 6n
What is the nth term for 18 12 6 0 -6?
Well, darling, the nth term for the sequence 18, 12, 6, 0, -6 is -6n + 24. So, if you plug in n = 1, you get 18; n = 2 gives you 12, and so on. Just a little math magic for you to enjoy!
What sequence is formed by subtracting each term of a sequence from the next term?
It is the sequence of first differences. If these are all the same (but not 0), then the original sequence is a linear arithmetic sequence. That is, a sequence whose nth term is of the form t(n) = an + b
What is the simple formula for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 7 3 -1 -5 -9?
7 - 4n where n denotes the nth term and n starting with 0
What are the first four terms of a sequence and what term number is -32 when the nth term is 8 -2n?
If the nth term is 8 -2n then the 1st four terms are 6, 4, 2, 0 and -32 is the 20th term number
What is the nth term for the sequence 0 4 12 24 40 60?
An = 2(n - 1)2 + 2(n - 1) = 2n(n - 1)
What is the nth term rule of the quadratic sequence below i might actually need help for this it didnt work out for me−4-305122132?
-4, -3, 0, 5, 12, 21, 32
What is the nth term for 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13?
This is the Fibonacci sequence, where the number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The nth term is the (n-1)th term added to (n-2)th term
Find nth term for sequence 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35?
This is an arithmetic progression. In general, If an A.P. has a first term 'a', and a common difference 'd' then the nth term is a + (n - 1)d. In the sequence shown in the question, the first term is 0 and the common difference is 5, therefore the nth term is, 0 + (n - 1)5. This can be rearranged to read : 5(n - 1) For example : the 7th term is 30 : 5(7 - 1) = 5 x 6 = 30.
What is the nth term of 12-8-4-0?
16 - 4nor4 (4 - n)
What is the pattern for 0 0 1 3 6?
The pattern for the sequence 0 0 1 3 6 is that each term is obtained by adding the previous term multiplied by its position in the sequence (starting from 1). In other words, the nth term is given by n*(n-1)/2.
