nth term can be calculated from the formula (n - 1) x n/2.
Eg 8th term = 7 x 4 ie 28; 42nd term = 41 x 21 ie 861.
If the series starts at 1 rather than 0, the formula is (n + 1) x n/2

A:
(n2-n) ÷ 2
The nth term in this sequence is 4n + 3.
Type your answer here... The next numbers in the sequence are 55, 70, 87, 106, 127, etc.

The nth term is: 5n
The nth term is 18 -3n and so the next term will be 3
The nth term in this sequence is 4n + 3.
(1+n) x n/2 or (n + n2)/2
It is: nth term = 29-7n
If you mean: 15 11 7 3 then the nth term is 19-4n
Type your answer here... The next numbers in the sequence are 55, 70, 87, 106, 127, etc.

The nth term is: 5n
It is: nth term = 5-4n and so the next term will be -19
The nth term is 4n-1 and so the next term will be 19
The nth term is 18 -3n and so the next term will be 3
If you mean -1 3 7 11 15 then the nth term is 4n-5 and so the next term will be 19
Say if you had the pattern 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 To find the nth term you have to see what the gap between the numbers is. In our case this is 5. Then you have to find out what the difference between the gap and the first number. In this sequence it is 10. So your answer would be..... 5n+10 That's how you find the nth term.
