Visual proof of infinite geometric series sum II

preview_player
Показать описание
This is a short, animated visual proof demonstrating the infinite geometric series formula for any positive ratio r with r less than 1 and with positive first term a. This series is important for many results in calculus, discrete mathematics, and combinatorics. #mathshorts​ #mathvideo​ #math​ #calculus #mtbos​ #manim​ #animation​ #theorem​ #pww​ #proofwithoutwords​ #visualproof​ #proof​ #iteachmath #geometricsums #series #infinitesums #infiniteseries #geometric #geometricseries

Wish I had math knowledge like you my videos could go to the next level

(I feel like I'm becoming regular nitpicker... but) It did feet weird to me that Triangle Similarity was used as proof after purple line was drawn on the video. I think it would have been better to compose purple line itself with Triangle Similarity as that would prove that it is a straight line.
Also I'm tad puzzled why height and and widht are scaled differently (unless a=1). At least I myself got rather confused by it, as since those blue rectangles look like squares, I kept (incorrectly) thinking that "a" was supposed to be 1 and that would somehow be important.
Otherwise a nice video.

I am confused why is the bottom a and ar when those are the areas of the rectangles themselves.

... and dividing both sides of the result by "a" removes "a".
