If look for the pattern in these numbers, you can see that they follow a simple sequence in which each number is four more than the previous one. They are not multiples of four though, so they will have to be offset. In this case, that offset is two. This means that we can express this sequence as:
f(n) = 2 + 4n
assuming that 6 is the first term, with an "n" value of 1.

What is the nth term of -8 2 12 22?
The sequence has a difference of 10, so the nth term starts with 10n. Then to get to -8 from 10 you need to subtract 18. So the nth term is 10n - 18.
What is the nth term for 26 18 10 2 -6?
The nth term in this arithmetic sequence is an=26+(n-1)(-8).
What is the nth term of 2 6 10 14 18?
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 position to term rule of 8 18 28 38?
If the term number is n, then the nth term is 10(n-1) +8.
What is the nth term of 15 12 9 6.?
The nth term is 18 -3n and so the next term will be 3
