This is something frustrating neither my friends or I understand  ??? >:(
I always had problems in finding nth terms and sometimes I do but in paper O/N/07 page 10 question 9 (b) part I couldnt think of a way to find them, neither my friends. Can someone please tell us a solid guide or a way to do it there are 6 questions to find nth term in the Oct/Nov paper year 2007 question 9
We will really appreciate any help, thanks in advance :)

Vin:

Listen for nth term .. according to me is all trial and error .. u get it sometimes or u dont .. u hav to develop tht kind of thinking .. tht is by practice ..
u hav to try each and every method to get it .. i know a formula ..

dn + ( a - d )

d = Common difference  between all terms.
a = First term.

only works for numbers having a common diff.

see if this helps ..
