To find the nth term in a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern or formula that describes the sequence. In this case, the sequence appears to be decreasing by 4, then decreasing by 6, and finally decreasing by 10. This suggests a quadratic pattern, where the nth term can be represented as a quadratic function of n. To find the specific nth term for this sequence, we would need more data points or information about the pattern.

The nth term is -4n+102.
Method:
To find the nth term (Tn) of the sequence, multiply n by the pattern of change in the sequence from left to right (-4). Then, substitute n for a term, for example, term 2. Follow the first step (-4n) which will give -8. Then you add or subtract to equal the number of that term (94). -8+x=94. x=102. Therefore, the formula for the nth term is -4n+102. To prove it, try with any term.
Term 3 (the number is 90).
3 x -4 = -12
-12 + 102 = 90
Tada!
