GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Algebra: Sequences - Explained

The video tutorial covers Question 24, focusing on sequences. Part A involves finding the next term in a given sequence by analyzing the differences between terms. The next term is calculated to be 72. Part B introduces a different sequence defined by the formula 3n squared minus 10, and the task is to find the fifth term. By substituting n=5 into the formula, the fifth term is calculated to be 65. Each part of the question is worth one mark.
