bro

#

i think this is one of those that you should figure out on ur own

#

i think with this question, the benefit of ingenuinety is greater than guidance

floral pebble i think this is one of those that you should figure out on ur own

bro if u dont know how to solve it just say that instead of shoving a telephone pole up ur ass

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

???

#

no, this is trivial to solve

#

my point is, i think this is one of those questions where you should just sit down and solve this one on ur own

#

because these sorts of questions require mental "gymnastics" which do need to be strengthened

#

look at the pattern, and try to find it

#

you will not benefit much from someone just telling you how to do it

#

it's like ruining a magic trick

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

if ur not gonna be helpful can you shut ur trap instead

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

i AM being helpful

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

quit yer yammering

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

bro

#

dude

#

write out the pattern, form a hypothesis, work out the next step manually, compare and improve

#

however, this one is particularly trivial

#

which is why i dont want to ruin it

#

i heavily suggest you do this one on ur own

#

BECAUSE i have experience, and can tell you that you will benefit 10x more from spending the 10 extra minutes to solve it

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

okay yea @left plank you should try solving it yourself are you like completely stuck or smthn

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

ye

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

also where is 11 12 lmao

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

idfk how to do it thats y i open the threads

#

wait shit 1 min

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

left plank ye

this is the reason you should do it

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:30 AM

#

#

@sullen aspen here

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

yea 11 should be pretty obvious like if youve learned geo sequences you should not be stuck

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

well i forget

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

okay lets start with

#

what is a geometric sequence

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

it multiplies

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

yup

#

okay now theres two parts of one

#

what are they called

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

a and r

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:33 AM

#

yup

#

do you remember how to write certain terms in terms of those

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:33 AM

#

see, you remember the formula, but you dont have an inutitive understanding of what it is

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:33 AM

#

bro my forehead is mad greasy rn i gotta shower be back in like 10 15mins

#

what?

#

why is you greasy bro?

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

he's oiled up for math

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

what are you doing... aint no way math making you act up like this

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:37 AM

#

mans gotta shower leave him be lmao

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

left plank why is you greasy bro?

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:49 AM

@edgy rivet has given 1 rep to @sullen aspen

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

but WHY

#

why were you greased up

#

like bacon strips

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

left plank why were you greased up

bc i didnt shower yet

#

do u not know what a shower does💀

#

i... get why and i get what happens after a shower

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:50 AM

#

okay stop talking about showers lmao

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:50 AM

#

what i dont get

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 1:50 AM

#

this isnt shower help thread

floral pebble Dec 12, 2023, 1:50 AM

#

his uncle came home

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:50 AM

#

is how u got greased up in the first place... its not normal to be greasy for no reaon

#

just because you didnt shower

#

was it ur uncle?

#

did he come back from korea

muted jolt Dec 12, 2023, 1:51 AM

#

left plank

Hey isn't the first q a mental ability q

#

Like there is a trick for that

#

Or a counting q

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:58 AM

#

left plank is how u got greased up in the first place... its not normal to be greasy for no...

cuz it was before my shower

#

youre avoiding the question

#

im not greasy and oily anymore cuz i showered

#

which makes me want to know more

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

left plank im not greasy and oily anymore cuz i showered

I GET WHAT A SHOWER DOES

#

what are u even asking

#

I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU WERE GREASY!

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

that is irrelavant please just stop @left plank

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

sullen aspen do you remember how to write certain terms in terms of those

^^^ back to this pls

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

sullen aspen that is irrelavant please just stop <@456226577798135808>

I WONT STOP UNTIL I GET ANSWERS

#

FUCK YOU

#

WHY WERE YOU GEAASY!

#

cuz hair folicles have oil glands which secrete oil over time and eventually it needs to be rinsed off

#

YOURE JUST LYING

#

i thought that was common knowledge

#

YOURE HIDING SOMETHING

#

bro💀

#

stfu

#

like u arent even funny ur just being deranged at this point

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

left plank bro if u dont know how to solve it just say that instead of shoving a telephone ...

.

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

just ignore them

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

sullen aspen just ignore them

aight

#

back to whatever the hell we were doing

#

anyway

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:03 AM

#

sullen aspen just ignore them

so im doing question 11

#

i know 45 is an 8th of 360

#

but how do i know what it is when the t value goes up by 1

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

you have your first term a and common ratio r

#

can you think about how to write the nth term in terms of those

#

or have you seen how to write the nth term that way

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:05 AM

#

yeah

#

its like

#

tn=ar^n-1

#

idk a or r tho

#

how do i find them 4 this

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

left plank idk a or r tho

well okay think about where that comes from

#

our first term is a

#

then we multiply r once to get to the next term

#

then we multiiply r again to get to the next term

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

yeah

#

but idk the first term

#

so how tf

#

?

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

okay so generally when you have sequence questions

#

whether its arith/geom

#

and youre given two random terms of the thingy

#

the way to solve for both a and r is just to use simultaneous/systems of equations

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

what is simulatenous systems of equations

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

like
5x+3y=7
5-4x=y

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

k so like how do i get those lines from the terms

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:12 AM

#

left plank tn=ar^n-1

ap\ply this

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:12 AM

#

uhhhhhh

#

so i know the n is 20

#

n-1=19

#

the r is like 8 but for every 3 times

#

so would it be n-3

#

instead of n-1

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:16 AM

#

wha

#

okay i dont know what is going on sadly

#

the 2nd term of a geometric sequence is $ar$

#

lemme try 12 ill let ya know if theres any mishaps

sullen aspen Dec 12, 2023, 2:21 AM

muted jolt Dec 12, 2023, 2:39 AM

#

A beef

#

Or beaf

#

I forgot the spelling

#

Yeah beef

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

i dunno how 2 do 14b

#

how to do this

muted jolt Dec 12, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

500=0.9 ^n?

#

Log it

#

Log 500 =n log 0.9

#

You choose base

#

-59 approx

left plank Dec 12, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

i got it nvm

#

that wasnt even the right expression
