The nth term is: 3n+2 and so the next number will be 20
Tn = 10 + n2
This is an arithmetic sequence which starts at 14, a = 14, and with a common difference of -1, d = -1. We can use the nth term formula an = a + (n - 1)d to get an = 14 + (n - 1)(-1) = 14 - n + 1 = 15 - n.
The nth term would be -2n+14 nth terms: 1 2 3 4 Sequence:12 10 8 6 This sequence has a difference of -2 Therefore it would become -2n. Replace n with 1 and you would get -2. To get to the first term you have to add 14. Therefore the sequence becomes -2n+14. To check your answer replace n with 2, 3 or 4. You will still obtain the number in the sequence that corresponds to the nth term. :)
It is: 26-8n
The nth term is: 3n+2 and so the next number will be 20
Tn = 10 + n2
The given sequence (7, 14, 21, 28, 35,....) is an arithmetic sequence where each term increases by 7. The nth term of the given sequence is 7n
They are: nth term = 6n-4 and the 14th term is 80
This is an arithmetic sequence which starts at 14, a = 14, and with a common difference of -1, d = -1. We can use the nth term formula an = a + (n - 1)d to get an = 14 + (n - 1)(-1) = 14 - n + 1 = 15 - n.
5, 8, 11, 14 and 17.
Clearly here the nth term isn't n25.
The nth term would be -2n+14 nth terms: 1 2 3 4 Sequence:12 10 8 6 This sequence has a difference of -2 Therefore it would become -2n. Replace n with 1 and you would get -2. To get to the first term you have to add 14. Therefore the sequence becomes -2n+14. To check your answer replace n with 2, 3 or 4. You will still obtain the number in the sequence that corresponds to the nth term. :)
It is: 26-8n
First look for the difference between the terms, for example the sequence: 5, 8, 11, 14... has a difference of 3. This means the sequence follows the 3 times table - i.e. 3n Now since we need the first term to be 5 we add 2 to our rule to make it work. So the nth term of this sequence is 3n + 2.
The nth term is 2 + 3n.
The nth term is 3n+2 and so the next number will be 17
