  • God bless you dude! You have no idea how much these videos have helped me for my cal 2 final. the limit of my appreciation for your work approaches infinity. Great work!

  • @christalwang  it's 3^0, not 0. 3^0 equals 1, so the 1x27 = 27

  • Great video! I have a test on Tuesday and your videos have been so helpful.

    I'd just like to let you know, though, that this video's not on your website.

    Thanks again!

  • @burnskate2

    3^-n = 1/3^n. As n approaches infinity the denominator gets bigger therefore limit = zero

  • Thank you for your videos! Everything is so clear.

  • Erm.

    @ 5:27

    .... Doesn't 3^(-n) approach 1, not zero?

    Otherwise it would be infinity/0...?

    SIDENOTE:

    Thanks for all the info. Your tank work video has helped me study for my final, the most. I've been a bit iffy on the work problems, before. /Really iffy. >>'

  • i love you! thank you so much. ive been watching your videos all day for my final tomorrow. i think ill pass it because of you! :)

  • I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!!!! THANK YOU. I'M SO GONNA ACE MY CAL TEST!!!!!! :DDDDDD

  • We left-handed humans are far superior in mathematics and physics...

  • just started studying this in calc II and your video was very helpful. sound quality was good and you made this topic less frightening!

  • patrick you rock man

  • Question:

    If i have an alternating series [(-1)^n-1]/2^n

    This is negative one raised to the n-1 and all of that divided by 2raised to the n power. Can i use the Root Test for that or should i used the alternating series test better? Is it incorrect if if i use the root test for this?
