Learning objectives:

To find the next

terms in a sequence
and to find the n th

term of a sequence
 4n + 2
1st term = 4 × 1 + 2 = 6

2nd term = 4 × 2 + 2 = 10

3rd term = 4 × 3 + 2 = 14

4th term = 4 × 4 + 2 = 18

5th term = 4 × 5 + 2 = 22

6 10 14 18 22
 5n - 4
1st term = 5 × 1 - 4 = 1

2nd term = 5 × 2 - 4 = 6

3rd term = 5 × 3 - 4 = 11

4th term = 5 × 4 - 4 = 16

5th term = 5 × 5 - 4 = 21
