    im in a sophomore year engineering class and none of the stuff made sense, and i had never seen a cosine or anything like that and now it makes all the sense in the world to me
    thank you so much you kept me from failing last semester

    Great video helped alot, just interest where this is filmed? normal classroom? uni lecture? Most schools I know of are pretty hard on filming in lessons, nice to see wherever you work they realise the value of having recorded teachings.

    so what it means is u gotta have to practice and use trial and errors to find the rules and be a sigma 🗿

    Do you have to use i? Or can I use what ever? i makes me think of the imaginary numbers.

    • @lisab1524
      @lisab1524 6 лет назад

      Cringy 7-Year-Old You can use ‘i’ or ‘r’.

    • @yunki_
      @yunki_ 6 лет назад

      No you can use “n”, stands for “nth term”. “i” does mean imaginary number.

    • @lisab1524
      @lisab1524 5 лет назад +1

      I think that "i", "r" or "k" are the most suitable variables used to show which number the summation starts with (the variable is referred to as the index). "n" is usually used to indicate the last number of the summation. However, they are just variables so they can be used interchangeably in different textbooks or even online.

    • @JoshHarrisPOV
      @JoshHarrisPOV 5 лет назад

      You can technically use anything as long as the letter is not already reserved for something in the problem you are solving, if your problem has imaginary numbers in it, then yes don't use i, use something else. There are some variables which are normally associated with this kind of problem, in my uni we usually use i/j/n

    • @miya-zp7ev
      @miya-zp7ev 4 года назад

      doesn't i mean index number? we use n meaning nth term. i hate how they use other terms in different books and when i try to learn from a different source sometimes the formula gets all jumbled up so i have to rewrite all the sht just to match the formula given to us.

  • @PracticeTips
    @PracticeTips 6 лет назад +1

    Why is it 2 to the i + 1 as the denominator and not just 2 to the i?

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  6 лет назад

      because i starts at 1 so if it was just 2^i it the first term would be 2^1 or 2 in the denominator

      yes, actually. it just looks different but it's the same thing. the exponents in the denominator of your answer can be added because the bases are the same.
