    my math teacher did not tell us how to get the formula but instead told us to remember the formula as is. Thank you so much for the explaination

    -Arithmetic sequence is a linear function
    Tn=a+(n-1)d
    Tn=a+dn-d
    -Sum of an arithmetic sequence is a quadratic function
    C equals zero
    An²+bn
    na+(.5n²-.5n)d
    The functions intercept at T1=S1
    na+(.5n²-.5n)d
    (0)a+(.5(0)²-.5(0))d=S(0)=zero

    THANK YOU I was studying and I could not understand Why they put this worked for the life of me. They did the whole explanation of how Sn =a1 +a2 and putting it the other way around but the way the book put it was super confusing thank you so much it's like a light bulb clicked in my head.

    just one question, what is the reason that we can add the two equations in 4:50 ?

    • @eric4709
      @eric4709 Місяць тому

      He is adding the SAME series but in reverse order. ( see around 4.20(
      This gives a new series which of course has TWICE the value of Sn ... but because one has added terms in reverse order... each term becomes a constant value - and so becomes easy to evaluate. Then to get Sn.. you divide by 2
      An easy way to see this is imagine adding the simple series 1,2,3.... to say 10. ( where d =1, and n =10)
      If we reverse the series and add it to each original term... we get:
      10+1, 9+2, 8+3,.... 1+10.
      You can easily see that this is now simply adding the constant term of 11 ten times = 110, and to get Sn we divide by 2 = 55.
      Now its easy to adapt the same idea for other series with other values of difference between terms and number of terms etc as shown.

    I’m trying to understand how do you know that taking the first three terms is enough to derive the formula, why not the first two? Why not just the first?

    If I want to write a sub n in terms of a sub 1 wouldn’t that be a1 + (n-1)d? I’m just trying to understand how you changed all the other terms in terms of the first term but not a sub n

    • @strpa.mp4
      @strpa.mp4 Рік тому +2

      Because we r considering the term from backwards, like
      Suppose the term is
      5, 8, 11, 14
      So if we consider the sequence in increasing order, is that, we wanna find the *last term* , then it will go on like this 👉 5 + 3 , 8 + 3, 11 + 3 = 8, 11, 14
      But if we consider the sequence from backwards , is that, we have to find the *first term* by reversing the order (for understanding) : let's say , the sequence now goes like this
      👉 14, 11, 8 , 5 ; but note that the sequence still remains in it's orginal form, i.e., (5, 8, 11, 14)
      as you can see, the sequence now goes like this 👉 14 - 3, 11 - 3, 8 - 3
      I mean, if we reverse the order for understanding (14, 11, 8, 5)
      but the sequence remains still the same , i.e., (5, 8, 11, 14) and we have to find the first term 👉 ?, 8, 11, 14 , then we gotta subtract the common difference from each term to find the first term, first term 👉 5
      I mean, that's why we need to subtract
      So in conclusion, when u have to find the last term (sequence is in increasing order) we gotta add the common difference & when we have to find the last term (sequence goes in decreasing order), we gotta subtract the common difference from each term.

    When used like it is here (as an adjective or noun adjunct), it's pronounced arithmEtic, not arIthmetic. The latter is when you're talking about the school subject -_-

    • @richdawes66
      @richdawes66 Рік тому +1

      Right… It’s just like Geometry. The noun form (i.e. maths subject) is of course pronounced “geOmetry”, but as an adjective in English the accent gets pushed back, e.g. a “geoMEtric” sequence. Likewise you have “aRITHmetic”, the subject or activity (a noun), versus “arithMEtic” the adjective, as in an “arithMEtic sequence”.
      I know this adds nothing to helping people understand things, and this chemistry tutor does a great job at that. Really, kudos to him! But it will save you from sounding silly when you go to Maths parties. Really, the best thing about Maths is the parties. 😂
