I've got an exam 3 hours from now. Binge-watching your vids really helped me prep. Thank you sir, you're a legend!
Bro this guys is definitely a polymath, genius
My lecture actually left us with this question of how to derive the formula. I didn't even know where to start 😢. You are a life saver . Thank you
This way of learning math is what I do love. Thanks for the amazing teaching!
Nice demonstration of the sum formula of a geometric series. The only demonstration I have known before implies polynomial divison.
1:00 minute of the video and I got the concept, thank you🙌🏼
11:50 Literally mind blowing You are amazing, man
If u ever need help in math this guy will always pop up
Thank you for posting It's very helpfull
Could you please tell us witch program do you use for totirial.
Congratulations 🎈🍾 for more than 3M subs
Thanks a lot!
I was stucked again and here is my saviour❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
Keep the good job.

Hello, may I ask why r is multiplied to the series...?

I’m guessing so that the n-1 exponent in the last term just becomes n.

its a trick to increase the power of r of each term on the right side by 1, so now when u minus the two things the terms cancel out and ur left with only a few Sn = a + a^r +ar^2 + ar^3 ... ar^N-1 -r*Sn = a^r+ar^2+ar^4 ... ar^N when u add these both series u willl get Sn - r*Sn = a + a^r +ar^2 + ar^3 ... ar^N-1 - (a^r+ar^2+ar^4 ... ar^N) terms on the right cancel out and u are left with Sn(1-r) = a-ar^N Sn = a(1-r^N) / (1-r)
I get that the General Formula works, and how it is derived. but not sure why it is multiplied by r (or -r). Why did someone decide to then add the 2 formulas. The arthmetic series formula and how it is derived makes so much more sense.

Multiplication by r and subtracting the resulting equation is a way to find Sn by elimination the same way we do when solving simultaneous equations.
Good video
At 9:44 why do you add the two equations? What do those last three steps represent?

why is r^n as n approaches infinity equal to 0?

Because 0< r
Its like AP ( ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION )
*Why* do we minus rSn from Sn to get the formula. I don't have an intuitive understanding of it.

It is one of those algebraic tricks that are used in mathematical proofs to derive a formula for something that is not too obvious to see. Herein, the infinite series is very difficult to see because it is infinite. So this is our algebraic manipulation to find the sum. It is genius and not every one could think about it.
At 8:33 WHY do you multiply both sides by r?

Sir you are so fucking cool I absolutely love your channel ❤❤❤
I was really confused as to why the series was multiplied by r. I found another video (and webpage) that explains this better, which I'll reply to this comment with in case the channel owner wants to delete it (I get it, I am techichally advertising another creator) so he doesnt delete my explanation too. !!(MY EXPLANATION IS IN THIS COMMENTS REPLIES)!!

Basically, by multiplying by r, you "shifted over the summation, and got one more new term: r^n." This is important in the next step, because subtracting the two equations (rSn from Sn, or Sn-rSn) cancels out all but two terms: the a1, which was 'lost' when you multiplied Sn by r, and the new term from rSn, r^n. That leaves you with "Sn - rSn = a1-r^n". From there, it's what's said in the video: Isolate Sn. --->(factor Sn out on the left side, getting Sn(1-r), then---> factor a1 out of the left side, getting a(1-r^n), then---> divide both sides by (1-r) to get the final result Sn=(a(1-r^n))/(r-1). !! LOOK AT EDIT WHEN YOU READ THIS PART !! When looking up the formulas for the geometric sum formula, I was also really confused because there were a bunch of different versions of it, and nothing was very clear about why they were different, so here's a reminder: a((r^n-1)/(r-1)) = (a(r^n-1))/(r-1) because a is a/1, so you've just multiplied a out. Also: a((r^n-1)/(r^n-1)) = a((1-r^n)/(1-r)) because you're multiplying the fraction by -1/-1, meaning nothing is changing (the negatives cancel each other out, aka you're technically multiplying the fraction by 1). Just remember that both the numerator and the denominator have to be written the same, because -1/1 doesn't equal 1, and 1/-1 does not equal one. Edit: I just came across something on www.cuemath.com/geometric-sum-formula/ that says if |r| 1, the sum formula for the finite terms is a((r^n-1)/(r^n-1)). If you can, I would ask your teacher/Tutor/anyone who is good with math about it.
11:20 😮
Great, but for one little thing: you say "r sub n" when you mean "r raised to the power n," at the end of the video.
At 9:30 WHY do you multiply by -1?
