Free sequence calculator - step-by-step solutions to help identify the sequence and find the nth term of arithmetic and geometric sequence types.
To work out the term to term rule, give the starting number of the sequence and then describe the pattern of the numbers. The first number is 3. The term to term rule is 'add 4'.
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by: a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1) d . To find the nth term, first calculate the common difference, d. Next multiply each term number of the sequence (n = 1, 2, 3, …) by the common difference. Then add or subtract a number from the new sequence to achieve a copy of the sequence given in the question.
Each number in the sequence is called a term. The first five terms of this sequence are 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. Listing all of the terms for a sequence can be cumbersome. For example, finding the number of hits on the website at the end of the month would require listing out as many as 31 terms.
GCSE Maths Algebra. Sequences. Here we will learn about different types of sequences including arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences and quadratic sequences and how to generate them and find missing terms, along with special sequences like the fibonacci sequence.

When the nth term is known, it can be used to work out specific terms in a sequence. For example, the 50th term can be calculated without calculating the first 49 terms, which would take a long...
