Any number that you choose can be the nth number. It is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 5 such that the first five numbers are as listed in the question with the chosen number in nth position. There are also non-polynomial solutions. 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.
However, in this particular case, it is very likely that the sequence is that of the odd numbers.
The first term in the sequence, a = 1
The common difference, d = 2. This is the difference between each term and the one preceding it.
Then t(n) = a + (n-1)*d
= 1 + (n - 1)*2 = 1 + 2*n - 2 = 2*n -1

What is the nth term of 3 6 11 18 27?
The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference that increases by 1 with each term. To find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, you can use the formula: nth term = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference. In this case, the first term (a) is 3 and the common difference (d) is increasing by 1, so the nth term would be 3 + (n-1)(n-1) = n^2 + 2.

The nth term for that arithmetic progression is 4n-1. Therefore the next term (the fifth) in the sequence would be (4x5)-1 = 19.
What is the nth term for 4 5 6 7 8?
Well, darling, it looks like we have a simple arithmetic sequence here. The common difference between each term is 1, so the nth term formula is just n + 3. So, if you want the nth term for 4 5 6 7 8, it's n + 3. Hope that clears things up for ya!
