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

What is the nth term for the sequence 5 15 29 47 69?

To find the nth term of the sequence 5, 15, 29, 47, 69, we first determine the differences between consecutive terms: 10, 14, 18, and 22. The second differences are constant at 4, indicating that the nth term is a quadratic function. By fitting the quadratic formula ( an^2 + bn + c ) to the sequence, we find that the nth term is ( 2n^2 + 3n ). Thus, the nth term of the sequence is ( 2n^2 + 3n ).

How do you find the nth term?

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.
