This video tutorial covers arithmetic sequences and series, explaining the concept of a common difference and providing examples of both increasing and decreasing sequences. It distinguishes between infinite and finite sequences and demonstrates how to find specific terms using formulas. The video also introduces arithmetic series, explaining how to calculate the sum of terms using different formulas, including a shortcut for when the last term is known.

What is an arithmetic sequence?

• A sequence of numbers with a common product.

• A sequence of numbers with a common sum.

• A sequence of numbers with a common difference.

• A sequence of numbers with a common ratio.

In an arithmetic sequence, what does the letter 'D' represent?

• The sum of the sequence.

• The common difference between terms.

• The last term of the sequence.

• The first term of the sequence.

Which of the following is an example of an arithmetic sequence?

• 3, 6, 9, 12

• 5, 10, 20, 40

• 1, 1, 2, 3

• 2, 4, 8, 16

What is the common difference in the sequence: 20, 16, 12, 8?

• 4

• -4

• 2

• -2

How do you determine the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?

• Subtract the first term from the last term.

• Multiply the first term by the second term.

• Subtract the first term from the second term.

• Divide the first term by the second term.

What is an infinite sequence?

• A sequence that has no common difference.

• A sequence that has a fixed number of terms.

• A sequence that repeats after a certain number of terms.

• A sequence that continues indefinitely.

What is a finite sequence?

• A sequence that has no common difference.

• A sequence that repeats after a certain number of terms.

• A sequence that has a fixed number of terms.

• A sequence that continues indefinitely.

How can you find the 100th term in an arithmetic sequence?

• By using the formula: first term + (n-1) * common difference.

• By adding the common difference to the first term 100 times.

• By dividing the first term by the common difference.

• By multiplying the first term by the common difference.

What is the formula to find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

• First term * common difference

• First term + (n-1) * common difference

• First term / common difference

• First term - (n-1) * common difference

What is an arithmetic series?

• A sequence of numbers with a common difference.

• The sum of all terms in an arithmetic sequence.

• The product of all terms in an arithmetic sequence.

• A sequence of numbers with a common ratio.
