You are literally my math teacher. THANK YOU. In my math class we got 2 days to learn this AND piecewise functions, not to mention the fact that our paid teacher has no clue what she's doing. Honestly, thank you, you're the only reason I'm not failing at this point.

Currently trying to teach myself Calculus II as my campus has shut down for the remainder of the semester and classes are online. I am a math major so now I have to teach myself calc based physics, Statistics, and Calculus all at the same time from home. This helped so much. Thank you!
and your point is? your kid is getting introduced to arithmetic progression, series is a lot more, it leads to the discovery of calculus and limits@@Heyoo1400
That made so much sense, my teacher took like a week to explain you took just 4 minutes of explanation and now I get it THANK you I have a test on this today I had to see it😭

I thought exactly like this in high school, now I have an anime profile picture and I'm making $13 an hour at a dead end job trying to re-learn math to go back to school.
@@Whatyulookinat I recently got a raise to $25/hr at the same "dead end job" I was referring to. Getting good at math was a big part of that though because it kept my mind sharp and able to sort out complicated situations in a very efficient way. I'm still studying math because it's difficult and not having a mountain to climb is boring and depressing.
I said the same thing during my math classes in high school and looking back, that's probably one of the worst mindsets I ever had. I graduated not knowing what I really wanted to do. Now I'm 23 and want to be an engineer and I have to relearn everything if I wanna go back to school.
@Lil smackaroo Yeah, go for it and aim high. After high school it's easy to hop into an entry level job "temporarily" and before you even have time to realize it, you're 23 and watching everyone you went to high school with graduating college and getting their dream jobs. Fortunately that slapped me in the face while I'm still young and have at least 42 years of career left.
When my teacher is explaining this in school, i don't understand a thing. But somehow this guy on the internet explains it in 7 minutes! Thank you so much!
Easier way : check how many it adds up every time then turn it from positive to negative or negative to positive then the first term minus the change negatively for example -5 -3 -1 5n-7
@@hazielllanes973 it depends really, it can be the power (how many times you multiply), or an arithmetic progression (continuous increase of values where the difference is constant) and multiply from those numbers. I think, I've forgotten about this video, so it might not be related, what I've just said
Arithmetic Sequences are amazing. It's a good exercise to massage to reinforce math in our brains. Great video. Khan is wonderful to help our students 🙂
I know that this is not a arithmetic sequence, but what should I say with the common difference of numbers of range in quadratic such as 1,4,9,16,25,...?
You have explained with some kind of notation here. Where the lower limit is n=1 and upper limit is infinity. My question is what is that notation? Where can I know more about it?
How did I sit through and hour of my teacher trying to teach this and walking out with less understanding of math than before I walked in, but come here and know how to do math in ten minutes?
It's simple. Plugin in 1 and subtract one and you'll get the value for a of 1, to get a of 2 you need to subtract one, otherwise it will give you the 3rd term
Because the first pattern for example adds the previous number of a number in the set with 2. So a number in that set is equal to the preceding number +2 (Just look at the pattern, it follows that way, the pattern itself means that adding to a number in that set gives you the next number, meaning that (a number in that set)+2= next number. Ultimately leading to that the number which we added 2 to is the predecessor of the next number since the operation of adding by 2 gives us the next number). We are going to assume the position of a number in the set as n. The predecessor of that number will be at position (n-1) (since the predecessor is one position behind) . From my opening sentence we can write a number as the sum of the predecessor and 2 I.e (n-1)+2. (I'm just repeating this again) So we get, For a number z with position in n in the set its value is going to be it's predecessor number+2= An-1 +2 z= An-1 + 2 A is just a notation for any number so we can replace z with A. A= An-1 +2 Where n is the position of place the number is located is in the set. Simple as that.
I dont know if I'm more confused or not. I'm stressing out, I am failing school. Also told my teacher I would do my homework and I have a meeting with her first thing in the morning. But it's 1:30am and I don't understand still. I'm so bad at math and school. My teachers at school are not good at their jobs either.😨 also why is letters aloud in math.
U explained me how to do it in 1 minute and my math teacher had 50 minutes and didn't teach me crap. THANK YOU

Or atleast use these videos in class

Arithmetic sequences can be a set of succeeding numbers that are decreasing. The common difference can be a negative number
When you want to learn then your internet suddenly turns off: *i just lost my motivation to study*
Easier way : check how many it adds up every time then turn it from positive to negative or negative to positive then the first term minus the change negatively for example -5 -3 -1 5n-7
MrDXB wait what? I’m confused
Me who still doesn’t understand:
The way he explained it was just fine and will resonate with more people.
this is so confusing wtf is n
the index
