Answer:

the most logical answer is

n^2-1

20th term is then 399

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule behind the sequence could be anything, but it is very likely that we're supposed to notice that the terms are all squares minus 1

0 = 1*1 - 1

3 = 2*2 - 1

8 = 3*3 - 1

15 = 4*4 - 1

24 = 5*5 - 1

So we expect that the explicit formula is n^2-1 and the 20th term is 399
