it sounds like you are looking for a series equation. To break it down into steps: the first term (when n=0, if I may make that assumption) is 2, the second term (when n=1) is 2.5, the third term (when n=2) is 3...

The tricky part is predicting the pattern. Assuming the pattern is that each term is .5 greater than the previous, one quick answer can be

x = 2 + (n * 0.5), so that when you pick an "n" (like the "5"th term when n=4 {please don't dislike me for using cardinal and ordinal}) solving for x gives you the value of the term (in this example x = 4).

The next tricky part is that there is almost always more than one way to express the equation (or the question, for that matter). N can start anywhere, it didn't have to start at 0, but it make some of my assumptions easier.

What is the nth term of 3 6 11 18 27?

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference that increases by 1 with each term. To find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, you can use the formula: nth term = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference. In this case, the first term (a) is 3 and the common difference (d) is increasing by 1, so the nth term would be 3 + (n-1)(n-1) = n^2 + 2.

Nth term With the nth term you substitute the n for the term number (e.g. 50) so the 50th term in 2n+3 would be 2x50+3=103


What is the Nth term of 2n plus 3?

The Nth term of tn = 2n + 3 is 2N + 3. Replace (substitute) the n by the term number to get its value. t1 = 2 x 1 + 3 = 5 t2 = 2 x 2 + 3 = 7 t3 = 2 x 3 + 3 = 9 etc.


What is the nth term for 3 5 7 9?

This is an arithmetic sequence with initial term a = 3 and common difference d = 2. Using the nth term formula for arithmetic sequences an = a + (n - 1)d we get an = 3 + (n - 1)(2) = 2n - 2 + 3 = 2n + 1.
