guys i've realised that my only weakness in maths is sequences...its so anoying!! i jst dunno hw to deduce da formula...i dnt get it...can any1 please help explain sequence to me...By the way am stuck on question 11 D (i) p4 may/june 09...
for these kind of ques u hav to use some common sense .. even im kinda bad at sequences =\ unfortunately there are chances of this topic comin up .. because it didnt come in p2
i got this one for my mock test and i solved it by trial n error .. one thing is good tht they already mention the ans. so i try everything to get the ans
n (n+1)
= ------- + (n + 1)
2
=n
2 + 3n + 2
--------------
2
ans is not (n +1 )
2 so i tried adding again
=n
2 + 3n + 2 n (n+1)
----------------- + ---------
2 2
=(n +1 )
2got it .. sorry i couldnt give u a proper explanation =\
