Arithmetic Sequences and Plant Growth

In this video, José Abdallah introduces the concept of arithmetic sequences through a story about Ali and his plant. The video explains how Ali observes the growth of his plant, which follows an arithmetic sequence with a constant difference of 5 cm each week. José explains the formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence and applies it to calculate the plant's height in the 12th week. The video concludes with a summary and farewell message.

What is the formula for the Nth term in an arithmetic sequence?

• U N = A - (N + 1) * B

• U N = A / (N + B)

• U N = A * N + B

• U N = A + (N - 1) * B
