The video tutorial explains arithmetic sequences, where the difference between consecutive numbers is constant. It introduces a formula to find terms in the sequence, detailing each component: the first term (a), position (n), difference (d), and term value (tn). The tutorial demonstrates using the formula to find a term and reverse-engineering it to find a position. Examples illustrate these processes, emphasizing the formula's utility in solving sequence-related problems.

What is the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?

• The sum of two terms
