Exploring Arithmetic Sequences and Means

The video tutorial covers solving arithmetic sequence problems using a specific formula. It demonstrates how to find the common difference and solve for missing terms in various sequences. The instructor introduces different methods, including the midpoint method, to solve these problems. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the techniques used.

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

• a_n = a_1 / (n - 1) + d

• a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) * d

• a_n = a_1 * (n - 1) + d

• a_n = a_1 - (n - 1) * d
