The Formula for Any Term
You've spotted a pattern in a sequence: 5, 9, 13, 17... (+4 each time). But what if you needed the 100th term? You wouldn't count them all! Instead, you'd use a formula called the "nth term" that lets you find ANY term instantly. It's like having a mathematical shortcut for any position in the sequence.
