# Rules to find General term
To find general terms we use following rules:
1) If the series/sequence is AS then tn= a + (n-1) d
2) If the series/sequence is GS then tn = arn-1
3) If the series/sequence is not both AS and GS we find a pattern.
4) If we cannot use all these methods mentioned above then tn = an2 + bn2 + c.
