nth term of a linear sequence?
nth teem = dn + c,
d = common diff.
c = first term - d (0th term)
How to find the nth term of a linear sequence?
Step 1: Find the common difference:
- d = term 2 - term 1
Step 2: Use the nth term formula:
- substitute n = 1 and term 1 into the formula:
- d(1) + c = term 1
- c = term 1 - d
