nth term? like this is in a table?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it is written to find the nth term of this sequence and the next to numbers
OpenStudy (nottim):
Well, every time you go up a value, you multiple it by an increasing multiple, staring from 4.
OpenStudy (nottim):
4, 5, 6

Is the nth term 1? cause that's what I got.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its like if the sequence is 2,4,6,8
so the nth term will be 2n
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if n is 1
then x is 2
if n is 2 then x is 4
OpenStudy (nottim):
Alright, this is definitely not what oyu want, but the formula to this table is y=11.833x^3-64.5x^2+113.67x-60
