Sequences: GRE and GMAT Math!

[@abdur17]

The only hard thing with Philip is finding an original way to compliment or thank him! Extraordinary work!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Haha true

[@ernestorhena2975]

I feel so lucky to have come across this KZbin channel. Much more lucky that I'll now enjoy more videos that have been done because of people's requests. I'm totally grateful 💕

[@lawalolasimbo4975]

Philip, you're a great tutor in quintessence. Your materials have been completely easy in comprehension May God wax you stronger in knowledge.

[@nazmialsaafeen]

Thanks philip clearly better than watching a 1 hour video in terms of the concepts I could cover in the same period

Thanks Arif!

I'm glad you found the channel too Pranava!

[@henriettaifyede1737]

Your channel has been such a blessing. What a pity i found it after i banged my first GRE. I'm re-writing on Dec 18 and i'm hopeful to score at least a 320 this time. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[@DaisyAnimeluvr]

I've honestly never done sequences before and I don't know how I've gotten away with it for so long without doing them. However, you've explained it in such a simple way that I was able to solve the last two problems on my own without any issues. Thank you! (my GRE is tomorrow early in the morning. Wish me luck!)

[@TheTestedTutor]

Good luck tbf!

[@edwardblack9263]

Very very nice technique!! this is exactly the type of training that, cumulatively, can help people speed up and score higher!! I'll let you know how much I improve! Btw, if you don't have a Paypal link for donations, I highly suggest you make one, because even though not everyone may be able to pay for full tutoring, many who have benefitted from your videos will want to contribute as they can for the great tutoring you offer freely

[@TheTestedTutor]

Hey Edward, thank you. No PayPal unfortunately but I do have a patreon link in the description.

[@tahirarahman6287]

Philip, all your videos are great, i love them. Can you please explain, in the last problem, if n>1, then how can a4 be a negative term?

[@TheTestedTutor]

N is positive but not necessarily a4, which is just one term. N is the term, such as 1st term 4th term. The term itself can be negative

[@ayushphukan2448]

@@TheTestedTutor then why did we not consider -8 in the second problem?

[@santhoshj6854]

@@ayushphukan2448 Seems like we can consider -8 in the second problem, since they have not mentioned anything about the term itself, and just that n>1, so k1 would be +2 or -2

Hey Philip, really like your videos! It helped me a lot in my preparation so far. One request can you make a video on parabola'a and set theory. It will be very helpful. Thank you...

[@AI-ew1rj]

How can a4=-51? Doesn't the restriction "..for all n>1" mean that a4 should be a positive number?

[@pascalokoye5727]

Hi, the n>1 means that the subscript "n" is not a negative number. It does not infer anything about the final outcome.

[@stephanieamatesiro7263]

@@pascalokoye5727 Hi. Could you please explain what the subscript means in this context? I assume it means the position of the term which I do not expect to be negative in any scenario. Phillip had brought it to our attention earlier (n > 1 being positive). So, I’d like to understand why 51 wasn’t the answer. I see a typical GRE question having -51 and 51 in the options and it could be really confusing.

[@bonjourciao2525]

@@stephanieamatesiro7263 me too. I need clarification on this particular answer

[@TheTestedTutor]

@@bonjourciao2525 Pascal is totally right. N is the anem of the term. A4 etc is the term itself, which can be negative

you're amazing!!! Thank you.

Hi Philip! if we put K1=+2 or -2, we will get K4=64... Both the solutions are possible

[@bilalansarkhan3008]

translate the math into words! Whattay idea sir jee!

[@Ssid5097]

it says n is positive, where n is the number of terms...but why can't the value of n be negative?

Hey Phillip, what is your opinion on Magoosh?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Good resource, I even did some questions for them

[@chenalikatre3424]

really easy to understand

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Chenali

[@simsimmons8884]

Thanks but I believe there is an error in your video. In the second example with trying to find the value of k subscript 1, the final answer can be +2 or -2. The expression n>1 only applies to the subscript of k. Nothing says k cannot be negative. You would need a k>1 to make -2 a wrong answer. In the 3rd question, even though you have n>1, you get a negative answer.

[@ramkrishnasharma7080]

If n>1, then the a4 would be positive, isn't it 51 ?

[@tanmaysankhe97]

n here is the position of the term in the sequence. n>1 says that the postion of the term will always be positive(>1) and not the term itself. That is, sequence is only valid for all the terms with position greater than 1

[@dhwanipatel3600]

Can you do a video on Arithmetic Progressions for GRE perspective? All three levels Easy-Medium-Hard. Eg. Sum of all number between 99-302 that are divisible by 4

[@dannymohan2642]

GODSEND

[@cardiyansane1414]

so the 1 st term is not really the 1 st term its already considered the 2nd or next term ..

[@rabalan_stem]

Second question: The condition should be n is bigger than or equal since the relation is k_(n+1) = (k_n)^2-1

[@SISANHLABATHI]

Very complicated

[@Kelsssie]

i dont understand this
