University level student here. Very clearly explained video, thank you. Some textbooks explanations are like a magic trick - like it magically works out without seeing what happens in between.

At 6:22 I don't understand how to get from 3K(K+1) + 6(K+1) to 3(K+1)(K+2)? I can get from 3K(K+1) + 6(K+1) into 3K^2 + 9K + 6K and also I can see that 3(K+1)(K+2) is also 3K^2 + 9K + 6K, but what I do not understand is how can I get straight from 3K(K+1) + 6(K+1) to 3(K+1)(K+2)? I know it is some simple math trick, that everyone (except me) knows by heart but it would have taken like 30sec to explain it in the video.

[StarRose]

you explained it better than my professor! Thank you!

[juberpansare]
