Give the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence. Your answer will be of the form an + b.12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ...
√12 x √20 = 3.46410161513775 x 4.47213595499958 = 15.4919333848297

There are infinitely many possible answers. If the missing number is the second in the sequence, it could be part of an arithmetic progression and so equal 10.4, or it could be in geometric progression and so would be 4, or harmonic progression which would give 1/0.65 = 1.54, approx. Furthermore, he missing number cold be the first or third in the sequence.

The geometric mean of 10 and 20 is 14.1421356237
The nth term of the sequence -4 4 12 20 29 is 8n+12 because each time the sequence is adding 8 which is where the 8n comes from. Then you take 8 away from -4 and because a - and - equal a + the answer is 12. Which is where the 12 comes from. Hope I helped.
