Hey! Thanks for the video. But I noticed you haven’t covered this type of sequence right: 3,5,9,17,33 As it doesn’t have either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd difference. But I’m not sure how to solve it Thanks

[@didyouforgetalready]

hii there, I'm not sure if its called geometric progression or not but this is how you do it: so I assumed you found the difference right? 3 - 5 - 9 - 17 - 33 { sequence } 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 { second difference } 2 4 8 { third diff} if you notice, you can see the SECOND difference are *square numbers* ( square numbers are just 2^1, 2^2, 2^3 and so on ) so then your 'n' will be the placed as the power of the base number 2 = 2^n after this you can subtract the difference between the sequence and square number and BEHOLDDD you find a difference of 1! soooo your sequence will be 2^n + 1 I hope this helps!!

Just in summary, (i am little confused here, i would be great if you could help me out with this) at time 2:39 you mentioned that for quadratic equation, divide the difference by 2 and at time 17:21 you said that for cubic equation, difference should be divided by 6. That means, whatever the difference is , ex. 4 as second difference i would still divide it by 2 and if 4 is my third difference, i would still divide it by 6, right? Thank you.

However, the answer that I got after subtracting wasn't the same. ForExample in 4:02 you got the subtracted answer as 3 for each but I got different....

Then as you do in the video, I subtract the original sequence with the 1n^2 and it gives different numbers. Not a consist one, it gives me 3,6,9,12 what should I do???

[@GingerMathematician]

That is the perfect method to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence. After obtaining 3,6,9,12… you would simply find the nth term of this new sequence (3n) and add it to the initial n^2. You would then get the nth term for the initial sequence to be n^2+3n, which is exactly what the question gives us 👍

Nice! I have my igcse in this may series so like a week or so to go. I've just been binge watching your videos and doing past papers, do you recommend doing anything else to enhance the revision or is this okay? Thank btw. :)

[@GingerMathematician]

Hi Kanishk, essentially you are doing all the right things! Do ask for a teacher to explain the topic if you find the videos and past papers aren't enough... 👍

3:27 If the number behind the n was a 3 for example, do we multiply starting from 3 like 3x3, 4x4.. instead of 1x1,2x2.. and what if after finding the difference they’re not all the same number, I don’t know if it’s my mistake but i’m really confused

[@GingerMathematician]

You would then write the 3n^2 sequence instead :-)

Hi Saketh, thanks for the support 🙂👍 Are you looking for an All of iGCSE Factorising style video?

@@GingerMathematician 0580 would be great mainly

[@sakethkakarla4530]

I think a lot of people are taking the same course and having trouble with it. I know a lot of people in my class that also needed help with the same. Complex factorization would be great. Along with the indices simplification if you know what I am talking about. Thank you so much!
