Answer #1

Look it up, its called quadratic sequences, there will be a site that would be much more help.

Answer #2

to figure out the nth term you have to find the difference between the numbers. so in this case it is 4, then look how many from 4 it take to get to the first number of the sequence… which is 8. so to get from 4 to 8, you have to add 4. so the answer for this would be 4n+4
