Question 938426: -1,2,12,40.112,288...?
Please tell me above mentioned series is following which pattern ?

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20081)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Sequence #1:   -1, 2, 12, 40,...

Divide each by the corresponding terms
of the sequence of powers of 2 starting
with 20 which is 1.

Sequence #2:    1, 2,  4,  8,...

and we get this sequence

Sequence #3:   -1, 1,  3,  5,

which is the sequence of odd integers starting with -1.

The nth term of sequence #3 is 2n-3
The nth term of sequence #2 is 2n-1

So the nth term of sequence #1 is 

So you can get as many terms as you want.
