Thank you so much, my school did a 1 hour lesson on this and they werent able to teach anyone. I sent this to everyone in my class, we are saved! Thank you so much, you're doing gods work
This is a spectacular explanation. I am a middle school math teacher who has been struggling to grasp an easy way to explain this for weeks. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! Also here's another method: a: second diff / 2 b: 3a+b = first diff of first term c: a+b+c = first term Now, all you have to do is sub a, b, and c into the equation T(n) = an²+bn+c. *Leave T and n as variables
It helped a lot . Thanks ❤❤❤ I didn’t understand a thing about how to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence but after this video , you would think I was Einstein!! 😂😂 Thanks again😊😊
You taught this much better than my teacher, my teacher explained it differently, i did understand but your explanation is way better, thank you a lot im using you to revise for my end of year 9 assessment
I am Ukrainian student in England now and I didn’t teach this topic in Ukraine at all. It’s amazing explanation. Considering the level of my English I can understand it!!You are the best! Thank you so much!!
You are the best, this video taught me more than any of my teachers have ever about this topic, I finally understand how to do these types of questions!!!!!, THANKYOU!!!!
because for the second part of the -3n you want to find the first number in the sequence that would come before 2. Because you know it decreases by 3 every time, to find the number before 2 you would add three to get 5. Therefore 5 would be the first number of the sequence and it would be -3n+5 for that part. You can test it by doing -3x1= -3 then add five = 2. and 2 is the first number in the sequence.
No way this guy taught me this subject in under 10 minutes and i actually understood it instead of my teacher giving 3 lessons and i still didnt understand, thank you sir this helped my revision alot❤
cant believe my teacher put this in our sparxmaths HW We havent even learned this Thank you for explaining it better than sparx did itself Hope this gets to you
sometimes theres a sub question after you find the nth term of the sequence where it asks you to prove if a number is apart of the nth term of the sequence that you just found out. how do you do those sort of questions? (also thanks for explaining this topic so well it makes alot more sense now)
The last example is 2nsqure+-3n+5 not 2nsqure-3n+5 ,you forget to put the plus, if you want to work out the first term of the original sequence by using 2nsqure-3n+5 it will be 2-2 which is 0 but if use 2nsqure+-3n+5 it will be 2+2 which 4, in all cases we adding because the third sequence plus the second sequence equal the first sequence
Hi. Unfortunately you are not correct here. 2n^2 + - 3n + 5 is equivalent to 2n^2 - 3n + 5 (which is the answer). When you add a negative it is just the same as subtracting. Your errors comes in your substitution. If you substitute in n = 1 you get 2*(1)^2 - 3(1) + 5 = 2 - 3 + 5 = 4

Hello, why doesn’t the quadratic sequence formula work here? I do an^2 + bn + c but i get incorrect answers while in other questions i use the formula and its correct
this was so clear! my teacher has been so difficult with explaining it to me lately, and always got annoyed when i asked “too many questions” so i haven’t been able to understand ANY of it. but this cleared pretty much everything up. as a student in year 9, i feel much more prepared for my gcse prep now
@@ieatmentoss1714 exactly, school is a place for development. teachers should be pleased if a student asks a lot of questions as it shows their interest in the topic and forecasts they need help. must be a crappy teacher if that is their excuse.
sorry to ask, but how did you find a sequence for 3n^2 on the first one, do i just square root like the first one i have to square root, then the second one, then the third one?
a+b+c = first original term 3a + b = 1st diff first term 2a = 2nd diff first term a+b+c = 8, 12, 20, 32, 48 3a+b = 4, 8, 12, 16 2a = 4, 4, 4 a = 2, b = -2 c = 8 2n^2 - 2n + 8
@@JoelPersson2003 this method oftens leads to a lack of understanding of what is going on. Those who just learn rules without knowing what they are doing or why often struggle with more difficult problems. In my experience of teaching this students much prefer the method I used in the video. Check the pinned comment...
Immediate is wishful thinking! I think you mean 3, 12, 27, ...? We are doing 3n^2 so we started with n^2, which is the square numbers, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 Then we multiply each of these by 3 giving 3, 12, 27, 48, 75
Great question. This just means the nth term of it is simply the constant number. So if it's always 3, 3, 3, 3, your nth term might be something like n^2 + 3
this is the most clear explanation i have ever watched..
Thanks a lot

Excellent I am glad it was so useful! I picked it up off another teacher a few years ago :)
Thank you so much! Also here's another method:
a: second diff / 2
b: 3a+b = first diff of first term
c: a+b+c = first term
Now, all you have to do is sub a, b, and c into the equation T(n) = an²+bn+c.
*Leave T and n as variables
Yess that's the one I know. It's very simple
That doesnt work with harder more adveanced equation though

Why do you add 5 in the 2nd example 5:17
because for the second part of the -3n you want to find the first number in the sequence that would come before 2. Because you know it decreases by 3 every time, to find the number before 2 you would add three to get 5. Therefore 5 would be the first number of the sequence and it would be -3n+5 for that part. You can test it by doing -3x1= -3 then add five = 2. and 2 is the first number in the sequence.

What if the answer after subtracting the sequence is a sequence that has the same number
Great question. This just means the nth term of it is simply the constant number. So if it's always 3, 3, 3, 3, your nth term might be something like n^2 + 3

how do you get n2 in the answers
saved my grades tysm
np
why is it that when i substitute into my answer to check whether it is wrong or correct im getting a wrong value??
Possibly not substituting right.
When you have e.g. 2n^2 and you substitute n = 1 you must do 2 x 1^2 = 2 and NOT (2 x 1)^2 = 4
In the second example it’s supposed to be 3n-1 not 3n+5
Well it is actually neither of those. It is -3n + 5 since -3 + 5 = 2
