How to determine the n term

Question 1

What do you mean by the n^th term?

Answer 1

In a sequence 1, 3, 5, 7……

The 1^st term is 1

The 2^nd term is 3

The 3^rd term is 5

The 4^th term is 7

So the n^th term is the value of the term that is in the n^th position

Question 2

How do find the 100^th term for this sequence?

2, 4, 6, 8…

Answer 2

We know that we add 2 to the next number and in this case, the sequence is the multiples of 2

To find the 100^th term, the easiest way find the value is

2 * 100 = 200

Question 3

How do find the n^th term for this sequence?

2, 4, 6, 8…

Answer 3

We know that we add 2 to the next number and in this case, the sequence is the multiples of 2

To find the n^th term, the formula is

2n

Question 4

What is the n^th term

1^st term is 1 + 2(1) = 3

2^nd term is 1 +2(2) = 5

3^rd term is 1 + 2(3) = 7

The nth term is ?

Answer 4

n^th term is 1 + 2n

Question 5

What is the n^th term

1^st term is 2 + 2(1) = 4

2^nd term is 2 +2(2) = 4

3^rd term is 2 + 2(3) = 4

The nth term is ?

Answer 5

n^th term is 2 + 2n

Question 6

What is the n^th term

1^st term is 1 + 3(1) = 4

2^nd term is 1 +3(2) = 7

3^rd term is 1 + 3(3) = 10

The nth term is ?

Answer 6

n^th term is 1 + 3n

Question 7

What is the n^th term

1^st term is 10 - 2(1) = 8

2^nd term is 10 - 2(2) = 6

3^rd term is 10 - 2(3) = 4

The nth term is ?

Answer 7

n^th term is 10 - 2n

Question 8

What is the n^th term

1^st term is 8 - 2(1) = 6

2^nd term is 8 - 2(2) = 4

3^rd term is 8 - 2(3) = 2

The nth term is ?

Answer 8

n^th term is 8 - 2n

Question 9

What is the n^th term

1^st term is 8 - 3(1) = 5

2^nd term is 8 - 3(2) = 2

3^rd term is 8 - 3(3) = -1

The nth term is ?

Answer 9

n^th term is 8 - 3n
