The video tutorial explains how to find the nth term in sequences, focusing on arithmetic and geometric sequences. It discusses the differences in arithmetic sequences and explores geometric ratios. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to finding the common ratio and calculating the 14th term using known values. It concludes with tips for solving similar problems.

What is the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence?

• a_n = a_1 * n^(r-1)

• a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

• a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1)

• a_n = a_1 / r^(n-1)
