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!
It is the sequence of first differences. If these are all the same (but not 0), then the original sequence is a linear arithmetic sequence. That is, a sequence whose nth term is of the form t(n) = an + b
7 - 4n where n denotes the nth term and n starting with 0
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
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.
To find the nth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern or rule that governs the sequence. In this case, the sequence is decreasing by 6 each time. Therefore, the nth term can be represented by the formula: 18 - 6(n-1), where n is the position of the term in the sequence.
18 - 6n

If the nth term is 8 -2n then the 1st four terms are 6, 4, 2, 0 and -32 is the 20th term number
An = 2(n - 1)2 + 2(n - 1) = 2n(n - 1)
-4, -3, 0, 5, 12, 21, 32
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
Oh, what a beautiful sequence of numbers you've created! To find the pattern, we can see that each number is increasing by adding consecutive odd numbers. The nth term for this sequence can be found using the formula n^2 + n. Just like painting, sometimes all we need is a little patience and observation to uncover the hidden beauty within patterns.
This is an arithmetic progression. In general, If an A.P. has a first term 'a', and a common difference 'd' then the nth term is a + (n - 1)d. In the sequence shown in the question, the first term is 0 and the common difference is 5, therefore the nth term is, 0 + (n - 1)5. This can be rearranged to read : 5(n - 1) For example : the 7th term is 30 : 5(7 - 1) = 5 x 6 = 30.
The nth term is 2n2. (One way to find that is to notice at all the numbers are even, then divide them by 2. The sequence becomes 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, which are the square numbers in order.)
