What is the nth term of the sequence 2 4 6 8?

Ok, take the formula dn+(a-d) this is just when having a sequence with a common difference dn+(a-d) when d=common difference, a=the 1st term, n=the nth term - you have the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8... and you want to find the nth term therefore: dn+(a-d) 2n+(2-2) 2n Let's assume you want to find the 5th term (in this case, the following number in the sequence) 2(5) = 10 (so the fifth term is 10)
