Question

-2, 1, 6, 13 solve for the 24th term

Answer 1

Answer: The 24th term is 573.

Explanation:

First, we need to create an equation to find the
`n^(th)` term in the sequence. For these given terms, we can form the following equation:

`T_n=n^2-3`

We can check this equation by inputting one of the given terms.

`T_n=n^2-3`

`T_n=3^2-3 \rightarrow T_n=9-3 \rightarrow 6 \;\;\; 6=6\; \checkmark`

To find the 24th term, we will substitute 24 into the equation.

`T_n=n^2-3`

`T_n=24^2-3`

`T_n=576-3`

`T_n=573`
