    Noob prelim questions

    whenever you solve an absolute value question, you are effectively squaring both sides. eg |x|=2, x=+-2. Really we are just skipping a step, |x|=2, x^2=4, x=+-2. What do u mean by solving 'normally' anyway? you should never find limits using a table of values, unless you are fairly confident in...

    Series and Sequences Questions

    for 1. we use the relationship that T2-T1=T3-T2. Put over a common denominator each side, then cross multiply and cancel terms. This will leave you with the relationship xz=y^2. We can then say that x,y and z are 3 consecutive terms of a geometric progression as T2 x T4 = (T3)^2.
