The answer depends on what information you have.
If you know the first number, a, and the common difference d, (where d is negative), then the nth term is
a + (n - 1)*d : exactly the same as in an increasing linear sequence. The only difference is that d is negative instead of positive.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find the nth term of a nonlinear sequence?
If the sequence is non-linear, you need to establish how it is defined.
How do you find the nth term of a declining sequence?
It depends on how the sequence is defined. Whether it is increasing, decreasing, oscillating or whatever is not relevant.
How do you work out the first term in a linear sequence?
no
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 the nth term in the sequence-5 -7 -9 -11 -13?
The nth term in the sequence -5, -7, -9, -11, -13 can be represented by the formula a_n = -2n - 3, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. In this case, the common difference between each term is -2, indicating a linear sequence. By substituting the position n into the formula, you can find the value of the nth term in the sequence.
How do I find the nth term of a decreasing linear sequence?
Whether the sequence is increasing or decreasing makes no difference. The only difference is that the common difference d will be a negative number.

What is called when you find the number by adding the same number to the previous term?
It is a sequence of numbers which is called an arithmetic, or linear, sequence.

What is the nth term rule if the linear sequence 1,7,13,19,25?
6n-5 is the nth term of this sequence
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 Nth term of a non linear sequence?
It is not possible to answer the question since a non linear sequence could be geometric, exponential, trigonometric etc.
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 the nth term in the sequence-5 -7 -9 -11 -13?
The nth term in the sequence -5, -7, -9, -11, -13 can be represented by the formula a_n = -2n - 3, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. In this case, the common difference between each term is -2, indicating a linear sequence. By substituting the position n into the formula, you can find the value of the nth term in the sequence.
What is the equation for finding the nth term of a nonlinear sequence?
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.
What is the nth term for 98 94 90 84?
The nth term is -4n+102. Method: To find the nth term (Tn) of the sequence, multiply n by the pattern of change in the sequence from left to right (-4). Then, substitute n for a term, for example, term 2. Follow the first step (-4n) which will give -8. Then you add or subtract to equal the number of that term (94). -8+x=94. x=102. Therefore, the formula for the nth term is -4n+102. To prove it, try with any term. Term 3 (the number is 90). 3 x -4 = -12 -12 + 102 = 90 Tada!
