Hello
its an hour long video is there anything specific ur confused about
u are finding the sum of 3 specific terms in the sequence but not the whole series
yea
so think about it
how can you make the sum of those 3 numbers in terms of the arithmetic series formula
i undertand the concept
dont know why he doe sthis later
like 8(8-d)(8+d) = 640
@cursive cargo
Ok umm let's try a diff way
Let the terms be
a-d, a, a+d
Where a is the first term
And d is the common difference
$u(u+d)(u+2d)=-640$
ImOakley
$8u(u+2d)=-640$
a-d + a + a +d is 24
ImOakley
the product of the consecutive terms is -640 right
yes
3a is 24..the middle term is 8
and you know that the first term in question is u
the second is u+d
the third is u+2d
because the sum is 24
u+u+d+u+2d=24
simplified its 3u+3d=24
or 3(u+d)=24
or u+d=8
But then u³ + d² = -640
After multiplying
what next
... I think
so u use arithmetic series formula
ImOakley
this is for the sum of all the terms righ
he did not use this if im right
lemme see rq
k
oh yeah u dont need the formula
i dont understand his concept
u1 + d = 8 i undestood
so just rearrange into $u_1=8-d$
ImOakley
and plug that in
so $8(8-d)(8-d+2d)=-640$
ImOakley
i dont understand wht he plugs in
because if $u_1+d=8$ then $u_1=8-d$
ImOakley
so you just replace all the u1 values with 8-d
how does -64 come
wdym
this is just simultaneous equations
you know what u1 is in terms of d so you can just replace all the u1 terms with what its equal to
you have $$u_1+d=8$$ and $$u_1(u_1+d)(u_1+2d)=-640$$
ImOakley
got this
oh
got it
u1 * 8 * 8 +d = -640
am i correct
$u1 * 8 * 8 +d = -640$
gfdses
again u1 is just 8-d
so you can sub that as well
youve gotten yourself to $8u_1(8+d)-640$
ImOakley
ImOakley
i think i lack in the basics of math
do u have any recommendations
of what topics to study
wdym i should reccomend topics? are u being taught this?
like i jut entered dp rn in ib
i lack basics i feel
what do u recoomend for me to learn
well general algebra is the fundamentals of maths so ig thats important to look at
okay will look at that
will hit u up if i have any doubts
do u have any idea how to close thi ticket
Just put the solved tag ig
