The Maths Prof: Sequences nth Term (part 1)

Here I show you how to find and use the nth term in LINEAR sequences (when there's a constant difference between the terms e.g adding/subtracting 5 each time to find the next number). For quadratic sequences please see PART 2 (nth terms like n²-3) 👉 • The Maths Prof: Sequen... and PART 3 (nth terms like 3ⁿ) 👉 • The Maths Prof: Sequen... hope that you find the lesson useful. Subscribe to my UA-cam channel to stay up to date with new uploads and follow me on Instagram @themathsprof for more maths! :-)

Hello I'm a slow learner and i didn't understand all the videos about finding the nth term. But i understood yours very well. THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH

[@yasirmehmood7340]

Same.

[@onneilekookgale9441]

Wow 😲 you're so good , you explained it better than my teacher ....for some reason i prefer UA-cam teachers over my teachers..

[@matipamhembere1474]

Your a life saver I don’t know what I would do if this video wasn’t here

[@martinohare1936]

Excellent. There should be 80K views or more with such videos. Possible to upload Part 2 - Quadratic Sequences? Clarity along these lines would be useful for more challenging sequences.

Best method of teaching .nMy math teacher was twaching me about this i didnt even understand a single word my teacher said . i couldnt understand but bc of u i understood it . A big,thanks love u ❤❤❤

[@michaeltraynor4825]

Same here, the nth term has been mystical to me up until now. Thank you prof very well explained.

[@ranvir5576]

Very good video, you are one of the best maths teachers I have had! Also, you may have just rescued me for my exam next week…

[@Ashley__864]

Your a life saver your explanations make much more sense than how my math teacher explains it thanks a lot I'll pass my test tomorrow cause of you 😊 subscribed 😊

I found it a bit hard to work out nth terms but ur explanation was extremely helpful, thank u😊

[@user-mi2xm5vr2b]

Excellent method of teaching. My teacher was teaching me in class and I could not learn but I learner here in 8 minutes. A big thank you

Thank you once again!

[@milangurung1771]

Well explained. Really helpful.

[@xpoint849]

Hey. There is a formula for this! tn= a+(n-1) d. Where a is the first term and d is the common difference. For instance, a is 2 and d is 3 in the first example of this video.
Hope it helps:)

[@tramhicks1215]

[@ahmedmasoud9027]

I,m looking for part 2, right now i have method for calculating nth term for quadratics ; I form 3 equations with 3 unknowns and equate each to the first 3 terms of the sequence
In the first eqn I substitute
n=1 to the eqn an^2+bn+c=1st term
n=2 to the eqn an^2+bn+c=2nd term
n=3 to the eqn an^2+bn+c=3rd term
And then I use calculator to solve.
Still looking for other alternatives and a method for cubic nth terms

[@bbamna5705]

I love your videos

[@ThatCanadianGuy-e1p]

I recall this kid asking me for help with nth degree math. Admittedly, I had never heard of it until he mentioned it. lol

[@TheMathsProf]

I’m so glad you think so 😄

[@shanurmohammed1320]

Quick tip; you could have instead subtract the n number with thevfirst number in the sequence
Example:
2,5,8,10
The n is 3n then di this
2-3 youll get -1 combine them all, you'll get 3n-1
This is how i solve them its much easier for me! ^^

[@alfatehabdelhadi]

This method is used in arethmetic sequences only .

[@bibi66966]

Hello, where's the other video regarding nth term? This is quite easy. The hard one is when we check the difference between each number and we don't get the same number what then? How to solve that? Please do a video on that one please. Thank you.

[@theohaywood4199]

do you have a video to find the nth term for fractions ?

[@fazzynone1]

You didn't do part 2 :(

[@chanhthakhathpathammavong5782]

Hi...profesor, have you ever applied the number sequences to the random number of lottery? Thanks..

[@koidiva5722]

Hello is it Possible ot upload part 2?!

[@spartanhead8131]

Really good video but I got a question, how am I suppose to find out if the N number is negative or positive? For example how am I suppose to know if 4n+2 or 4n-2 how am I suppose to know that?

How 2n+2
and why not 2n-2 m really confused please anyone can help me.

[@fazzynone1]

Because 2-2 is 0 so 2+2, so should be 2n+2 is 4

[@yawmosses350]

Two set problem.

[@abebaabeba7380]

Wudratic sequences

[@XxDarkRaverxX]

Why does no one explain how to get numbers that are not "add 4 to each number" or something simple like that. What about explaining how to get squared numbers or 2(n) + 5 / n^2 or something. No one explains anything like this...
