This is the Fibonacci sequence, where the number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The nth term is the (n-1)th term added to (n-2)th term
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 9, then 13, then 17, and so on. This pattern indicates that the nth term is given by the formula n^2 + n - 1. So, the nth term of the sequence 0, 9, 22, 39, 60 is n^2 + n - 1.
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!
t(n) = n(n - 3)
The pattern for the sequence 0 0 1 3 6 is that each term is obtained by adding the previous term multiplied by its position in the sequence (starting from 1). In other words, the nth term is given by n*(n-1)/2.
