1. ## Nth Term help

n³+3
Write the first four terms using the nth term above.

I dont even know where to start..
And then theres these:

Draw lines to match each nth term rule to its number sequence:

TERMS Number sequences
4n 4,7,12,19

(n+1)² 4,8,12,16

n²+3 4,9,16,25

n(n+3) 4,10,18,28

I dont know how to work out which ones match... (There not in the right order at the moment)

${nth \;term, \;t_n} = n^3+3$

Put n = 1, 2, 3, 4, to get first term, second term, third term and fourth term respectively,

first term $t_1=(1)^3+3 = 1+3 = 4$

second term $t_2=(2)^3+3 = 8+3 = 11$

third term $t_3=(3)^3+3 = 27+3 = 30$

fourth term $t_4=(4)^3+3 = 64+3 = 67$

so, first four terms are 4, 11, 30, 67

Now, in the same way do the next part, and get first 4 terms and match it.

I'm not really sure either, unless you are to substitute the first 4 counting numbers for n and solve for $n^3+3$

If n={1, 2, 3, 4} then $n^3+3=${4, 11, 30, 67}

4n 4,7,12,19

If n={1, 3}, then 4n={4, 12}

It could mean this. You could draw a line from 4n to 4 and 12. Sounds silly to me. I don't know.

(n+1)² 4,8,12,16

n²+3 4,9,16,25

n(n+3) 4,10,18,28

I dont know how to work out which ones match... (There not in the right order at the moment)

The instructions are too vague. See if you can get clarification or an example from your book or from class.
