35 * * * * * That is the next term. The question, however, is about the nth term. And that is 6*n - 1
It is 6n+5 and so the next term will be 35
If you layout the sequence... 3, 8, 15, 24, 35... ok so you find the difference between these 3 to 8= +5 8 to 15= +7 15 yo 24= +9 24 to 35= +11 so now you find something called the second difference which is +2 +2 +2 +2 +2. Then you need to divide the second difference by 2 which is just n^2 as it is a quadratic sequence you are finding. now you do the nth term which is just 1 2 3 4 5 etc. and you do your n squared sequence which is 1 4 9 16 25 etc. and you do your sequence 3 8 15 24 35 you find out that you need from the n squared sequence and your regular sequence which is +2 +4 +6 +8 +10 this is your 2n add 2n to the divided term n squared and you have your answer, Answer= n squared +2n ------> (n^2)+2n
It is: nth term = 35-9n

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.
It is 6n+5 and so the next term will be 35
The given sequence (7, 14, 21, 28, 35,....) is an arithmetic sequence where each term increases by 7. The nth term of the given sequence is 7n
If you layout the sequence... 3, 8, 15, 24, 35... ok so you find the difference between these 3 to 8= +5 8 to 15= +7 15 yo 24= +9 24 to 35= +11 so now you find something called the second difference which is +2 +2 +2 +2 +2. Then you need to divide the second difference by 2 which is just n^2 as it is a quadratic sequence you are finding. now you do the nth term which is just 1 2 3 4 5 etc. and you do your n squared sequence which is 1 4 9 16 25 etc. and you do your sequence 3 8 15 24 35 you find out that you need from the n squared sequence and your regular sequence which is +2 +4 +6 +8 +10 this is your 2n add 2n to the divided term n squared and you have your answer, Answer= n squared +2n ------> (n^2)+2n
Divide the sequence by 5 and the answer becomes very obvious: 1, 4, 9, 16,...N2 So, 5, 20, 45, 80,...5N2
The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5. To find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula: (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, the first term (a_1 = 0) and the common difference (d = 5). Therefore, the nth term of the sequence is (a_n = 0 + (n-1)5 = 5n - 5).
t(n) = n2 + 5n - 1
If the nth term is n*7 then the first 5 terms are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35.
