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.

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
Is there any equation to help finding the nth term of a nonlinear esquence?
"Non-linear sequence" is a generic term for just about ANY sequence, each of which will have a different equation.
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.
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.
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.
How do you work out the first term in a linear sequence?
no
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 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.
Can you explain a pattern in which 14 is the fifth term in a sequence of ten numbers?
It is not possible to explain because you have not specified the nature of the sequence. A sequence can be an arithmetic, or geometric progression, increasing or decreasing. Or it can be a polynomial or power progression, again increasing or decreasing. Or it can be a sequence of random numbers.
Which term describes a function in which the y-values form an arithmetic sequence?
linear function
