Give the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence. Your answer will be of the form an + b.12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ...
8 + 4n
The nth term of the sequence is expressed by the formula 8n - 4.
2n(n+1)
n(n+1)

8 + 4n
The nth term of the sequence is expressed by the formula 8n - 4.
Given n and any number for the nth term, it is a simple matter to find a rule such that the above four numbers are the first four of a sequence and the given number in the nth position.However, the simple answer for simple questions is Un = 4n
28 - 8n
20-9x=n
n(n+1)
Un = 29 - 9n
The nth term of the sequence -4 4 12 20 29 is 8n+12 because each time the sequence is adding 8 which is where the 8n comes from. Then you take 8 away from -4 and because a - and - equal a + the answer is 12. Which is where the 12 comes from. Hope I helped.
12, 20, 28, 36, 44
They are: nth term = 6n-4 and the 14th term is 80
