a + (n-1)d = last number
where a is the first number
d is the common difference.

∙ 14y agoIt means to work out a suitable nth term that is applicable to all terms of a sequence of numbers following a regular pattern.
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence = a + [(n - 1) X d]
my nth term maths is very tuff because its syallabus is changed
No, it will be a formula, because "the nth term" means that you have not defined exactly which term it is. So, you make a formula which works for ANY term in the sequence.
"Non-linear sequence" is a generic term for just about ANY sequence, each of which will have a different equation.
The answer depends on the context. It could refer to the nth term in a sequence of numbers: T1, T2, ...
There is no set equation for finding the nth term of a non- linear sequence. You have to go through a procedure to find the equation suitable for your given sequence. You would have to post the equation itself or re phrase your question for the answer.
From what I know, it is just called "next term in sequence" For a unknown term, just call it the "nth term".

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.

6n-5 is the nth term of this sequence
the first 4 terms of the sequence which has the nth term is a sequence of numbers that that goe together eg. 8,12,16,20,24 the nth term would be 4n+4
