    Every time you fully explain something in a few minutes that I've seen many teachers fail to teach in a whole semester, I get more respect for the act of teaching as an art and a profession.

    This guy is such a good teacher. My professor spent two hours trying to explain this and you can did it in under 12 minuets.

    You've helped me from my freshman year in High School, and now that I'm in college I still continue to watch your videos because they're one of the few things that actually help

  • @mrlise
    @mrlise 15 лет назад

    I would just like to mention that for the first example you did on the page "convering or diverging," when you took the function (n(n-1)) and took the limit, it should go to +1 not infinite. This is because if you expand (n(n-1)) out and then divide both by n squared, you will get (1 - 1/n^2). Therefore as you take the limit of this, you will get (1-0) = +1

    @star7girl nerdy is just fine : )
    i had a less than stellar school experience too; that is how it goes sometimes.
    do not let that stop you: read and teach yourself!! that is the secret to learning.

  • @jwmcmac
    @jwmcmac 14 лет назад

    the other mistake on this video is a small one . . . that you placed the ratio as . . .
    . . . between -1 and 1 . . . but you used less-than-or-equal to one instead of just less than one. You were correct on the -1 side of the ratio.
    I'm sure that you properly explain this somewhere along the way . . . as you always do.
    Thanks! . . . and GOD Bless you for all of these wonderful videos.

    @patrickjmt  14 лет назад

    @krogan92 yes, this is divergent

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  14 лет назад

    @granadaza well, it is 'by definition' - otherwise, many statements about factorials would not work and one would need a special case. factorials are also used to count arrangements where order matters, so i have heard some say: how many ways can you arrange zero things: in ONE way, that is, not at all. personally, i do not find this that satisfying. to me, it is a needed to rule to make many formulas and statements correct. we can define as we wish, so long as we are consistent after that!

  • @audreybui4535

    limit of ratio to the n power as n go to infinity will be 0 if the ratio satisfies -1< r < 1, not -1 < r

    Great video! you are always spot on with the explanations. Q: Just have one question, when you separated the denominator into two 3^1 times 3^n, how is it that it does not changing the problem to 9^n if you where to pice it back together?

  • @GRedz3r
    @GRedz3r 12 лет назад

    Hey patrick I'm a little confused. Could you just look at the ratio of the coefficients and say the limit equals 2/3? This of course ignores the "+1" since adding one to infinity will have no effect. Thank you for saving my butt on countless occasions with these videos!

    @enjoyablesounds 14 лет назад

    As of last week I started studying "sequences and series". Again, the branding chosen inappropriate and unnecessarily confusing , not distinguishable at all. I would leave "sequences" as it is but would refer to "series" as "add-series" or better yet "add-sequence or sum-sequence" simply because now, in the word the clue of summation already has been giving in the initial descriptive sense. What do you think?

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  16 лет назад

    well, you can show series 1/n diverges even though the terms approach zero... easy argument to prove it!

    Hi Patrick I have an upcoming exam on these but my problem is that I find it difficult to know how to start these sorts of problems (testing divergence/convergence). Are there patterns or techniques that I should recognize so I automatically know if I see something, there's a certain way to do it. Please reply thanks!

  • @tipsheda
    @tipsheda 13 лет назад

    Patrick, I'm doing my IRP on a math related topic and I'm not sure where to start... I trying to figure out why a repeated algorithm on a twisty puzzle, like the rubiks cube, always reverts itself back to its original state. I don't want a direct answer, because I want to do it on my own, but if you can head me in the right direction to success, it would be much abliged. :)

  • @notabot301
    @notabot301 11 лет назад

    because (2/3)^n gets closer and closer to 0 as the n term gets closer to infinity. so you can basically say that it is 0

    In US when you write a number such as .1, you don't write the zero before the point cause it would be a leading zero right? In Brazil we write it 0,1 (yes, with a comma).
