Answer 1

the nth term of what?

Answer 2

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that is defined by a rule or a function. Each number in the sequence is called a term. The rule for the sequence tells you what to do in order to find the next term in the sequence. That means when given a term from the sequence you can find the next term by applying the rule to the given term. However, it can quickly become tedious when trying to find higher terms in the sequence. Learning how to identify a sequence, the rule for the sequence, and how to use the rule to determine any term in the sequence saves a lot of time and effort.
