Find the nth term of the sequence 6, 10, 14, 18, ...
4n + 2
4n + 6
6n - 2
2n + 4
This is an arithmetic progression with first term a=6 and common difference d=4. The n-th term is a + (n-1)d = 6 + (n-1)4 = 6 + 4n - 4 = 4n + 2.
The given sequence is an arithmetic progression where each term increases by a constant difference of 4. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is an = a1 + (n - 1)d. Substituting the first term 6 and the common difference 4 gives an = 6 + (n - 1)4, which simplifies to 4n + 2.
