Tysm!!!! It really helped me out!! :) I was struggling to understand this topic, and I have an exam in 3 days. I can't thank you enough. You've got yourself a new sub. =D
Thankyou so much I have a test tomorrow and I needed to know this and you made it a lot easier. Do you have any tips for remembering all of this so I won’t forget it in the test.
It might help to look at an example where the terms are increasing: ruclips.net/video/VgBSzYBMbh4/видео.html Then you can try to make up your own examples to test yourself...you could start with a formula, work out the terms, then see if you can work out the formula. Good luck!
But how about numbers that are decreasing by dividing 2 each num, for example: 2000,1000,500,250 and so on. How to write the algebraic expression for sequence like this?
finally i have found the perfect video, very clearly explained and will definitely be subscribing as this has helped me a lot, thank you for the great video!
This is actually the recursive method. If you want to do it the other way try using this formula: a₁ + (n - 1)d With a₁ being the first term, n being the nth place in the sequence, and d as the difference.

Thank you. Millions of people all over the world have been made happier for your existence👍
Thank you so much!
Very helpful I’m doing this topic in school thanks 😊
You're welcome 😊
@@MathsWithJay hello i wanted to ask wat if the its-5 if the valueminused keep increasing or decreasing? like -5 to -6 or -5 to -3
Thank you, you literally helped me pass my assessments
Happy to help!
Thank you for making this video it helped me a lot with my school work.
You're very welcome!
Simple and straight forward. Just what I needed💕
Thank you Constance
thanks for this i couldnt find any other videos for decreasing sequences and ive always struggled on nth term, this really helped :)
You're very welcome!
Watched this before my end or year examinations, and MY GOOD MAY GOD BLESS YOU. THANK U SO MICH!!! And now i subbed
Glad it helped!
please I love this so much, I have a test soon and I am not prepared at all. This really helped, tysm!! Idk what I would’ve done without this
Good luck!!
all the support to your brilliant videos
Big thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HELPED ME WITH MY MATHS HOMEWORK!😊
You are so welcome!
quite useful,i have been looking for these types of vid.
@Gamerz World: Thanks!
Thank you so much! I have a test tomorrow and I completely forgot so this really helped
Good luck!! Great to know that this was useful
thank you so so much for this I really needed this for a homework ! just subscribed as well :)
Yay! Thank you!
THANKSSS end of year assessments have me stressing you’ve just taught me and hour lesson in three minutes
Glad to have helped...good luck!
THANK YOUUUUU this is a LIFE SAVER
You're welcome
Very easy method 👍 amazing
Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Having a test tommorow about this and having zero knowledge before watching this video. IM READY!
Best of luck!
@@MathsWithJay hi! The test got a bit tricky when it Said about nsquared stuff
Ah - see ruclips.net/video/pSMxx4w547I/видео.html for nth term when n is squared
@@MathsWithJay omg tysm!
Thank you!!!
Excellent explanation 👌
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you mam!!! ❤❤ Keep it up!
Most welcome 😊
@@MathsWithJay 🥰
My module brought me here ! 🤧 This really help me so thnks
You're very welcome!

Fantastic! Welcome!
thank you so so much i really appriciate it ✨✨✨
No problem 😊
You just helped me pass my exams, Thank you 🙏
Glad to hear that!
thank so much for the explanation it helped😊
You're welcome 😊
What is a way to rewrite the formula into a more general one?
@janneth aguirre: This is an arithmetic sequence, with first term a, difference d, so the nth term is a + (n - 1)d,
@@MathsWithJay is d the common difference?
@Dominic Castillo: Yes!
This was really helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome!
You taught me this in 4 minutes and my teacher couldn’t do it in 3 weeks
3 weeks?!
Thank you so much !
Welcome!
This so useful, you deserve a like
@LilAndy TV: Thank you!
your videos are really helpful ❤❤
Thank you!
Wait so its just like positive numbers?
@nene n: It's like an increasing sequence as in: ruclips.net/video/VgBSzYBMbh4/видео.html
what about the sequence 4,2,1 when we have to find the 7th term and the nth term
See ruclips.net/video/hgTBZzMwilU/видео.html for a halving sequence
Thankyou so much I have a test tomorrow and I needed to know this and you made it a lot easier. Do you have any tips for remembering all of this so I won’t forget it in the test.

thx for the help was doing some correcting from a home test, thx for the clear explanation !
Glad it helped!
@@MathsWithJay You're underrated btw maybe i will tell my freinds to sub
how did u get the check n=2?
By substituting 2 for n
TY FOR IT I NEEDED THIS!!
You're welcome....glad it helped!
amazing video !
Glad you liked it!
Definitely a good help 👍 thank you
No problem 👍
Ty Maam. I literally need an explanation it helped me
Most welcome 😊
yay thx so much for helpin man maths is hard but great people like u exist 😀
You're welcome!
how do you got the 2
At what time in the video?
Very helpful, thanks you so much
You're welcome!
Thank u so much! You help me with my assignment! ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Would 304 - 3n also be a formula?
Try it: what do you get when you substitute n=1, 2,...?
@@MathsWithJay It worked for me. Thanks a lot!!!
thanks for this i can do my math now
Glad I could help!
What if it’s like -12, -9, -6, -3, 0?
How do you think the formula will start?
Maths with Jay I actually figured it out thanks for the video
But how about numbers that are decreasing by dividing 2 each num, for example: 2000,1000,500,250 and so on. How to write the algebraic expression for sequence like this?
That's a geometric sequence
Thanks this really helped
Glad to hear!
what should i do if the numbers are, 123,113,93,83?
So no 103?
@@MathsWithJay no
Cheers helped me with my homework
Excellent!
Thank you this was so useful
Glad it was helpful!
What if it goes to the negatives? Like 15, 7, -1, -9...
The same rule applies...what do you get for your formula?
@@MathsWithJay t = 23 - 8n!
oh what if we use nth term= a+(n-1)d
Yes....that will work....a is the first term and d the common difference
Thankyou! Thankyou! I need this🥰🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Why do we add three?
At what time in the video?
ok but what about when the sequence isnt linear?
ruclips.net/video/pSMxx4w547I/видео.html has a non linear example
Thank a lot!
You're welcome!
how did the -3 come from i think its between 301-298
@lawmi thangluah1: 298 - 301 and 295 - 298,...
How to find the nth term of 9 2 2 -2 its confusing as it jumps from -4 to -3 and again -4. How do we write this in n terms
That is a baffling problem!
Thankyou very much without your videos I would have done very poorly on my homework thankyou ❤👍
You're welcome 😊
thank you . Very efficient
@Mohamed Mehraz Jaleel: Thank you!
thank youuu!!!!
You're welcome!!
thank you i got the same question in my exam and i rocked it.... thanks
Great 👍
Thank you so much. I understand it fully after trying to figure this out for a full year
@Chumile Mtingi: A FULL year! Wow!
what if the number sequence is a fraction?
This method works for fractions too if the differences are all the same
How about 4, 8, 16, 32 instead of adding them they've been multiplied by 2
This is not a linear sequence like the one in the video...your sequence will need an index (or power)
veryyy underated thank youuu
Good to know that you found this useful
Thanks a bunch😅
Welcome!
uhmm can i suggest a video where its decreasing but theres no common difference if thats alright sir thx for vid
Can you give an example?
Thanks for helping. My maths teacher isn't even in school so we have to learn by ourselves and I didn't understand this topic at all.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much
Welcome 😊
Thanks for this information, it helped me a lot on my homework
Btw im g6
You're welcome!
i got it right👏🏾👏🏾
Excellent!
How about this one
80,40,20,10?

@@MathsWithJay thank u very much
finally i have found the perfect video, very clearly explained and will definitely be subscribing as this has helped me a lot, thank you for the great video!
Welcome aboard!
thank you so much
No problem 😊
What about non linear decreasing sequences
@Dontay: ruclips.net/video/5iLAGcz4Vfk/видео.html is a decreasing quadratic sequence
Thank you now I can answer my retake exam :-:
Great!
Im watching this during the exam ty
During?
Today is my exam and I am revising it now thankyou🎉
Good luck!
thanksss
Thank you
Tahnk u so much
Most welcome 😊
Thx
Any time
This is actually the recursive method. If you want to do it the other way try using this formula:
a₁ + (n - 1)d
With a₁ being the first term, n being the nth place in the sequence, and d as the difference.
Or just a for the first term
@@MathsWithJay yup
Woah! this seems so easy for me now :) thanks
its really hard for me before i watched this vid and now I was like "how would I think that way??!!" lol
@Xu Shiny: You're welcome 😊
@@MathsWithJay it's not common to see a youtube that likes every comments :) Your vids are so awesome! :)
...some comments are deleted and some people are blocked if their comments are not appropriate...
@@MathsWithJay True
what if it goes 9 16 25 36 49 ?
See ruclips.net/video/pSMxx4w547I/видео.html
THANK YOUUUU
You're welcome
cant it be -3n +304
Yes, but we prefer to avoid starting an expression with a negative
Thank you so much!!! This is just what I needed. ❤👍
Glad it was helpful!
this is perfect! thank you !
You're welcome!!
thank you
You're welcome
My mind is sleeping right now but where did you get the x again i can't understand BTW thanks😍😍
At what time in the video?...ruclips.net/video/VgBSzYBMbh4/видео.html may be useful
@@MathsWithJay thnx bro
What if its ‐6 ‐9 ‐12 ‐15 ‐18 so your telling me the answer will be ‐3n‐3
Why not check by substituting in n=1,2,3,...For example, your formula gives the 4th term as -3x4 - 3 = -12 - 3 = -15
Still dont understand really if I'm being honest
Then try another example...ruclips.net/video/VgBSzYBMbh4/видео.html
I FEEL LIKE EINSTEIN NOW
Wow!
Hello!
Hi!
useful - thanks
@letti Thank you!
Thank you so much this helped a lot
You're welcome!
50/50 for me but I’m just gonna plug it in and hope it makes sense lol
