The common difference (d) between successive terms is -9.

The first term (a) is 26

The formula for the nth term [a(n)] of an Arithmetic Series is , a + (n - 1)d.

Inputting the values for a and d gives :-

a(n) = 26 - 9(n - 1) = 26 - 9n + 9 = 35 - 9n......where n = 1,2,3......

What is the nth term for 2 5 10 17 26 37?

One method is an = n2 +1.So the first term is 1+1the second is 22 +1=5the third is 32 +1=10the fourth is 16+1=17 etc.There is also a recursive way to find it. I only point it out so you can see there may be more than one way to denote the nth term in a sequence. This method uses recursion.2+0=2=a12+3=5=a25+5=10 =a310+7=17 =a417+9=26 =a526+11=37 =a6So nth term is easy recursivelynth term=an =an-1 +(2(n-1)+1) =an-1 +(2n-1) =for example n=4 is the 4th term.a4 =a3 +(8-1)=10+7=17the 5th term a5 =17+(2x5-1)=17+9=26

How do you work out nth term in sequence 26 17 8 -1 and -10?

you can find the rest of the numbers in the sequence by using inductive reasoning or noticing a pattern 26 , 17 , 8 , -1 , -10 it appears that you are subracting 9 each time. 26-9=17 17-9=8 8-9=-1 (8-9 changes to 8+-9 if you need to see that step) -1-9=-10 (-1-10 changes to -1+-9 if you need to see that)

Well, isn't that just a lovely pattern we have here? Each term is increasing by 4, isn't that delightful? So, if we want to find the nth term, we can use the formula: nth term = first term + (n-1) * common difference. Just like painting a happy little tree, we can plug in the values and find the nth term with ease.

What is the 9th term in the quadratic sequence 2 5 10 17 26?

To find the nth term in a quadratic sequence, we first need to determine the pattern. In this case, the difference between consecutive terms is increasing by 3, 5, 7, 9, and so on. This indicates a quadratic sequence. To find the 9th term, we need to use the formula for the nth term of a quadratic sequence, which is given by: Tn = an^2 + bn + c. By plugging in n=9 and solving for the 9th term, we can find that the 9th term in this quadratic sequence is 74.
