What is this video about?
  • This video is about evaluating word problems involving arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. It involves different types of formulas which can be hard to understand. It talks about differences and how to find the sum.


  • What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
    -Notice the different formulas that are used and how we use what we have to plug in, substitute, and find what we want. Also notice how the sum is the total not just the last. Pay attention to how we use different terms and their information to find missing parts to the different equations.

    Student Problem #7: Unit K Concept 10

    What is this about?
    -this picture shows an example of how to write a repeating decimal as a rational number using geometric series. Because it is very easy to do, no calculator will be necessary. While doing this, we will learn what certain variables stand for.

    What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand his concept?
    -The reader needs to pay special attention to how to divide fractions and multiplying the reciprocal when it comes to the sum of the series. Keep in mind that the formulas used here are just for these types of problems because there are so many, it's easy to get confused.

    Student Problem #6: Unit J Concept 6

     
     
    What is this about?
    -This picture shows an example of partial fraction decomposition with repeated factors. It is an algebraic skill essential to certain aspects for integration in Calculus. While we know how to add fractions together by finding a common denominator, we will learn how to decompose, or break fractions apart.
     
    What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
    -The viewer needs to pay special attention to how to deal with repeated factors. This means that each factor must be separated into separate fractions. For the repeated factor, you must count up the powers and include the factor as many times as the exponent.

    Student Problem #5: Unit J Concept 5

     
     
    What is this about?
    -This picture shows an example of partial fraction decomposition with distinct factors. It is an algebraic skill essential to certain aspects for integration in Calculus. While we know how to add fractions together by finding a common denominator, we will learn how to decompose, or break fractions apart.
     
    What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
    -The viewer needs to pay special attention to the steps that this system requires to decompose. These steps include how to multiply parts to find a least common denominator and also how to combine like terms. The viewer also needs to pay attention to how the like terms are taken and made into systems, which can now be solved depending on the number of systems as well as other factors. These methods are algebra 2 skills and matrices.
