Finding the formula for a sequence of terms

The video tutorial explores the transition from positive to negative values in mathematical sequences. It begins by examining arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and their limitations in solving the problem. The instructor then considers alternative operations, eventually focusing on squaring as a potential solution. Through trial and error, the correct formula is developed and verified, demonstrating the importance of understanding mathematical relationships and operations.
