Page 2: Geometric Sequences

This page covers geometric sequences and their unique characteristics, emphasizing the multiplicative relationship between consecutive terms rather than additive differences.

Definition: A geometric sequence is a sequence where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant number multipliermultiplier.

Example: The sequence 23, 92, 368, 1472 has a multiplier of 4 between consecutive terms.

Highlight: Unlike arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences use multiplication to progress from term to term.

The page demonstrates various geometric sequences with different multipliers, including fractional multipliers like 0.5, and explains how to verify if a number belongs to a sequence.

Page 3: Quadratic Sequences

This page delves into quadratic sequences, explaining their characteristics and methods for finding terms and patterns.

Definition: A quadratic sequence is one where the second difference between terms is constant.

Example: The sequence 3, 7, 13, 21, 31 shows increasing differences of +4, +6, +8, +10, demonstrating quadratic growth.

Highlight: Finding the nth term in a quadratic sequence involves analyzing both first and second differences.

The page provides detailed steps for working with quadratic sequences, including finding differences between terms and constructing nth term formulas.

Page 4: Advanced Sequence Analysis

This page focuses on advanced techniques for analyzing various types of sequences and solving complex sequence problems.

Example: The sequence 3, 8, 15, 24, 35 demonstrates quadratic growth with a second constant difference.

Highlight: Verifying sequence membership requires substituting values into the sequence formula and checking if the result matches the given term.

The page includes practical examples of determining whether specific numbers belong to given sequences and finding nth terms for more complex patterns.

Page 1: Arithmetic Sequences

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of arithmetic sequences, focusing on pattern recognition and term calculation. The content demonstrates how to identify constant differences between consecutive terms and find specific terms in a sequence.

Definition: An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between consecutive terms remains constant.

Example: The sequence 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 has a constant difference of +2 between terms.

Highlight: Finding terms in an arithmetic sequence involves identifying the pattern and applying it consistently.

Vocabulary: "Ghost term" refers to the term that comes before the first given term in a sequence.

The page includes multiple examples of arithmetic sequences with different common differences, such as +6 and +7, helping students understand pattern recognition.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

Basil

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

David K

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

Greenlight Bonnie

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
