A term in mathematics is defined as a number variable or number-variable combination in an algebraic expression or equation. Math is all around us in everything we do. This Math term is similar to the term divisible.
Lets look at an example problem to learn how to find the nth term of an arithmetic progression.
A Sequence is a set of things usually numbers that are in order. How to find the general term for the sequence 12 23 34 45. General term of a sequence If the terms of a sequence follow a certain law in its formation that is if it is possible to give a formula that relates the value of the n-th term to the natural number n we will call such formula the general term of the sequence. At some point your pre-calculus teacher will ask you to find the general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence without knowing the first term or the common difference.
