    You make me want to be a math teacher Mr. Tarrou. Your enthusiasm doesn't just make me want to do math, but it also brightens up my day!

      THANK YOU so much for that wonderful compliment...and students like you are a constant reminder why I love teaching and why my wife and I work so hard to keep this channel growing so please be sure to sub and share it with everyone...BAM!!!

    nCr is for finding the number of ways you can have r successes from n trials. So if you wanted to find out how many ways (Combinations) you could have 4 successes out of 10 trials....10nCr4 which equals 210. If you want to find out how many pizzas you can make from 3 types of cheeses and 4 meat topping, assuming you must choose one of each...you just do 3 x 4 = 12

    Hi. I watched your videos on sequences (arithmetic + geometric + sigmas), and I got an A on my test, something I've been struggling to get all year (I haven't gotten an A in a WHILE (in precalc)!!! It was a big deal). Thank you very much. I plan to watch more of your videos before I take my final exam. You teach very well.

    • @profrobbob

      VEKAproductions CONGRATULATIONS! That's a great accomplishment and something to be proud of...I'm glad I could be a part of it! Thanks for taking the time to study and choose my channel to learn from.
      I hope you will share your story and my channel with your teacher so they can suggest my channel as an additional study reference to all their other students:)
      Now go pass that final exam like BAM!!! and let us know how you did...then, enjoy your summer:)

    And thank you for liking my videos...now it will be like having your own personal tutor:) I hope you enjoy learning math from Tarrou's Chalk Talk, and if so, please be sure to share my channel info with others:D

    I used the variable k as my index variable in my sigma notation. I could have used n or any other variable for that matter...but I used k so that needs to be consistent through the sigma notation.

    Thanks a lot

    On the third example you used separate ace of one formulas for the top and bottom of the equation. Is it okay to do both the top and bottom of the fraction in one formula?

    You know what's sad, I'm a college student and I'm getting a better education on precalculus and trigonometry from these 16 minute videos than my teachers 1 hour and 50 minute lectures, thank the lord for these videos.

  • @Canakar360
    @Canakar360 12 років тому

    What you say that if order doesn't matter (for example how many combinations of topings on a pizza) you can use the nCn formula??

  • @susannaweir1811
    @susannaweir1811 9 років тому

    And also the general term- does it have to be memorized?

  • @SerhiyKapustyan
    @SerhiyKapustyan 12 років тому

    Do you have to write K in the nominator and the denominator of the formula, i dont understand your note when you wrote that you write N instead of K.

  • @gohanwanabe
    @gohanwanabe 8 років тому +1

    What does n-1 mean in the general term formula

    • @profrobbob
      @profrobbob  8 років тому +1

      The first value is given, so to get the second number in the sequence n=2 you only need to add once.... 2-1=1. n-1 is the number of times you repeatedly add.

  • @skipperfromppd2447

    I am studying for midterms in my Algebra 1 class and we have learned these two formulas as Recursive, and Explicit. Are there any major differences (ones that will change the answer) between Explicit (which is how you described it) and General formulas? Thanks for the amazing videos, i always come to your channel when I have study issues :)

  • @sandrasaucedo4659
    @sandrasaucedo4659 6 років тому

    How would you know if the common difference is a negative

  • @susannaweir1811
    @susannaweir1811 9 років тому

    Do they give you the An=An-1 formula or is that something you have to memorize???

    • @profrobbob
      @profrobbob  9 років тому

      Susanna Weir That will depend on the teacher. My students in PreCalculus have to memorize them.

    At 11.56 doesnt the first number of sequence start -1/5 or was it -1/n. thanks

  • @overcast8468
    @overcast8468 9 років тому

    so the general formula would represent all the terms using just a1??

    • @profrobbob
      @profrobbob  9 років тому

      +Potato Bear Basically yes, the one An formula uses the first term A1 and n to give you any number you desire in your sequence immediately. So if you want the 90th number you don't need to go through the previous 89 numbers.

    what does the n-1 mean and do

    • @Champwala
      @Champwala 8 років тому

      +Marty Willliams The n means the nth term you are finding or using for. the a_n means the value of that nth term

    • @espressothoughts
      @espressothoughts 8 років тому

      It doesn't do anything. It's a notation to use the preceding value in the next equation, and once you get that value. That will be your new n-1 and you plug in that to get the next term in the sequence

    • @profrobbob
      @profrobbob  8 років тому +1

      Absolutely! You can move the terms around as long as the signs go with them:) Thanks for watching. By the way, time stamps with your question is very helpful.

    • @Monterlude_RM
      @Monterlude_RM 8 років тому

      +ProfRobBob how can you find a1 in a word problem prof

    • @profrobbob
      @profrobbob  8 років тому

      a1 is going to represent what is given in your word problem as an initial value... the first number in your sequence.

  • @CEducational
    @CEducational 8 років тому

    Sir, can you solve this problem for me ? because I spend lots of time to solve this but I never get the proper solution to this. The sum of the first three terms of arithmetic sequence is 24. The 1st, 2nd and the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence is equal to the 1st 3 consecutive terms of geometric sequence. Find the 1st 6 consecutive terms of the arithmetic sequence.thank you :)
