The given sequence is decreasing by 2 each time, starting from 12. To find the nth term, we can use the formula for an arithmetic sequence: (a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d), where (a_n) is the nth term, (a_1) is the first term, (n) is the term number, and (d) is the common difference. In this case, (a_1 = 12), (d = -2), and we need to find the general formula for the nth term. Therefore, the nth term for the sequence 12 10 8 6 4 is (a_n = 12 + (n-1)(-2)), which simplifies to (a_n = 14 - 2n).
The nth term is (2n - 12).
The nth term of the sequence is expressed by the formula 8n - 4.
The nth term is: 3n+1 and so the next number will be 16
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: 3n+1
The nth term is (2n - 12).
2n - 12
It is: 2n+4
The nth term is equal to 4n.
The nth term of the sequence is expressed by the formula 8n - 4.
28 - 8n
The nth term is: 3n+1 and so the next number will be 16
nth term is n squared plus three
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. :)
11
It is: 3n+1
Clearly, if you omit the sign, the nth. term will be 4n. The alternating sign can easily be expressed as a power of (-1), so in summary, the nth. term is (-1)n4n.
