Find the nth term of a sequence.        2, 6, 10, 14, 18

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence, which means each term increases by a constant difference.

Step 1: Identify the common difference The common difference (d) is the difference between any two successive terms. In this case, d = 6 - 2 = 4.

Step 2: Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence The formula for the nth term (An) of an arithmetic sequence is: An = A1 + (n - 1) * d

Where: A1 is the first term in the sequence (in this case, A1 = 2) n is the term number d is the common difference

So, the nth term of the sequence is given by: An = 2 + (n - 1) * 4

Simplify this to: An = 4n - 2

So, the nth term of the sequence 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 is 4n - 2.
