Term value of a pattern frow equation

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

What is the value of the 17th term in this sequence?

We can just plug in 17 for 'N' in the equation

Now we can solve. 17 minus 1 give us 16 in the brackets. Multiplying the bracketed value, we have 3 times 16, which is 48. 46 minus 48 is negative 2

So the 17th term of our sequence is negative 2

This math skill teaches how to find the value of a specific term in a sequence using its algebraic formula. By substituting the term's position into the formula, calculate the term's value through arithmetic operations.
