Write the formula given the following arithmetic sequences.4, 8, 12, 16, ...
4*n where n increases by one for each consecutive term
i'll give you something harder: 1, 4, 12, 28, 55, 96, 154... what is the next term?
@Khushal_Shah
is it (n3+5)@rrrrr
no
i don't understand
Hint: It has two "layers" of arithmetic and geometric sequences before you can get the answer.
oh, he's not too far off though. So the first time you add 3, then 5, then 8, then 11, then 14, then 17. So lets see...what would the equation be...
so would it be n3+3
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, (22+7) 1, 2(2), 3(3), 7(4), 11(5), 16(6), 22(7), (22+7)(8). Hope this will make it clear.
So the answer is 232.
oh i see now ,but how does this pertain to my problem
sorry i just like to throw out random problems that have something to do with the original problem(like this is sequences)
And I have some harder ones that it took me about 10 minutes to solve(this one took me about a quarter the time)
this one is the only one with 2 "layers" like arithmetic and geometric or even some other strange stuff
