It’s 76 because 6+6=12 and 12+10=22 so if you add 4 to the last one and you add the last number you get the next one. So, 22+14= 36 36+18= 54 so 18+4= 22 and 22+54= 76. Hope it helps!
The sequence represents a quadratic function, the nth term of the sequence is 2n² + 4
The nth term of a quadratic sequence is :
- an² + bn + c
- c = zeroth term ; a = second difference ÷ 2
From the sequence :
First difference = 6, 10, 14, 18
Second difference = 4, 4, 4
First difference between terms in position 1 and 0 :
- 6 - 4 = 2
- Zeroth term = First term in sequence - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
- a = 4/2 = 2
Plugging the values into the equation :
2n² + bn + 4
Using the 2nd term :
- n = 2
2(2)² + 2b + 4 = 12
8 + 2b + 4 = 12
2b = 12 - 12
2b = 0
b = 0
Hence, the nth term of the sequence is 2n² + 4
