Question

nnesha · Answer

practice practice practice

marcelie · Answer

I don't know what calc2 is, but below is sort of a "beginners' guide".
1+2+3 = 6 This is an ARITHMETIC progression. to get the next number you add 1 to the previous one.
1, 3, 5 add 2 to the previous number.
etc.
series and sequences make me go cross eyed, actually.

Remember back earlier in the semester when you were doing weird integrals? You often had the option to do either `Integration by Parts` or `Trig Substitution`.

You had multiple ways to attack one problem.
But it usually turned out that one method was easier than the other.

Same with series. You'll have a lot of different tools/tests that you can try. Getting familiar with which one works best in each situation just takes... practice :p
Sorry I know I sound like a broken record at this point lol.

vuriffy · Answer

It's okay, I say that about every math puzzle. @zepdrix (:

osprey · Answer

i^0 =1, i^1 =i, i^2 = -1 ... i^4 =1 type territory ? i^8 =1 sort of thing ...
