8 16 14 10
\n" ); document.write( "the first and third terms are 8 and 14. Note that 14=8+6
\n" ); document.write( "the second and fourth terms are 16 and 10. Note that 10=16-6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "So, the nth term=(n-2)th term + 6 if n is odd
\n" ); document.write( "But, if n is even, nth term =(n-2)th term -6.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The next term is the 5th term.
\n" ); document.write( "Since 5 is odd,
\n" ); document.write( "5th term=(5-2)th term + 6=3rd term+6=14+6=20 \n" ); document.write( "
