Math teacher gave us a riddle to solve

[rough ginkgo]

So my math teacher gave us a riddle to solve but i am legit so lost on where to even start 😭 The T stands for Term

1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

+close

3. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
4. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
5. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Hmmm, I don't know how to solve this one too.

This looks difficult.

I'll leave it up for someone else.

[rough ginkgo]

Oh forgot to say i need to find the value of A and N

I think the value of N is -1

But

Im lost

[winter kernel]

you seem to have cut something off

what is T

[rough ginkgo]

Term

[winter kernel]

is Tn = (1+ax)^n

[rough ginkgo]

Wait ill grab the full picture rq idk why its cut

The T stands for term he said

I figured out the worth of N

Its 2

I think

Now what I’m trying to get it

A

I think its 6

But

[winter kernel]

what

(1+ax)^n is not equal to 12x or 160x^3

[rough ginkgo]

Oh yeah

[winter kernel]

for any values of a or n

[rough ginkgo]

Wait

I meant A is 2 and N is 6

But im not sure

[rough ginkgo]

Oh

Wait so the riddle is

Not possible

Alright i guess

[winter kernel]

i think you're supposed to find a formula for T

[rough ginkgo]

o

[winter kernel]

so T_n appears to be (some number)x^(n - 1)

right?

[rough ginkgo]

I suppose

It’s getting quite late for me I don’t have my notes atm

Its 1 am

I appreciate the help but imma sleep

And get back on it tmr

😔

Ty tho :)
