Method to find the nth term in a sequence
Main Article Content
Abstract
In some sequence problems, students usually encounter sequences , showed by a mathematical formula, requiring them to find the first term, the second term, and so on in a sequence. This type of problems is not hard for students. However, it becomes harder when some terms of the sequence are firstly provided and students are required to find out the sequence’s nth term. In this paper, we not only introduce a method to find the sequence’s nth term by common difference, but also apply it to calculate the sum of a sequence.
