If you mean -1 3 7 11 15 then the nth term is 4n-5 and so the next term will be 19
It is: nth term = 5-4n and so the next term will be -19
3n(n+1] + 5 is the nth term
The nth term is: 5-2n
t(n) = 6*n - 1 where n = 1, 2, 3, ...
It is 4n -1 and so the next term will be 23
It is: nth term = 29-7n
35 * * * * * That is the next term. The question, however, is about the nth term. And that is 6*n - 1
If you mean -1 3 7 11 15 then the nth term is 4n-5 and so the next term will be 19
It is: nth term = 5-4n and so the next term will be -19
The nth term is 4n-1 and so the next term will be 19
The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9,11, ... and the first term is -1; the nth term is: n² - 2
The nth term is -7n+29 and so the next term will be -6

(n+1)2-1
The nth term for that arithmetic progression is 4n-1. Therefore the next term (the fifth) in the sequence would be (4x5)-1 = 19.
Well, darling, it looks like we have a arithmetic sequence going on here. The common difference between each term is 7, so to find the nth term, you can use the formula a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d. In this case, a_1 is 1 and d is 7, so the nth term would be 1 + (n-1)7, which simplifies to 7n - 6. Voila!
