Given ANY number at all, it is possible to find a cubic polynomial such that that particular number is the nth number in a sequence starting with the above three.
The simplest rule, however, is Un = 5n + 9
Assuming the pattern would continue: 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13...
If you mean: 6 12 18 24 then the nth term is 6n
Well, darling, the nth term for the sequence 18, 12, 6, 0, -6 is -6n + 24. So, if you plug in n = 1, you get 18; n = 2 gives you 12, and so on. Just a little math magic for you to enjoy!
If you mean: 34 39 24 ... then the nth term is 39-5n and so the 100th term = -461
To find the nth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern or rule governing the sequence. In this case, the sequence appears to be increasing by 4, then 8, then 12, then 16, and so on. This pattern suggests that the nth term can be represented by the formula n^2 + n, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. So, the nth term for the given sequence is n^2 + n.

The nth term is (36 - 4n)
If you mean: 6 12 18 24 then the nth term is 6n
24-5n
It goes up by (24-16) = 8 each time. The first time is 16. So the nth term is 8n + 8.

The pattern between these numbers seems to be that they are incrementing by five each time. (9 - 4 = 5, 14 - 9 = 5, etc.) Also, the series starts at four. So the formula to find the nth term for this series would be 5(n-1) + 4 For the first in the series to be four, the n being multiplied by the five must be zero, so that is why there is the minus one. Testing the formula: 5(3-1) + 4 = 14 correct 5(5-1) + 4 = 24 correct
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, ...
The given sequence appears to be increasing by 10 each time. To find the nth term, we can use the formula for arithmetic sequences: nth term = first term + (n-1) * common difference. In this case, the first term is 4 and the common difference is 10. Therefore, the nth term for this sequence would be 4 + (n-1) * 10, which simplifies to 10n - 6.
If 3 is the first term, then the nth term is [ 3 x 2(n-1) ] .
If 3 is the first term, then the nth term is [ 3 x 2(n-1) ] .
