Basicially justifying is when you use altenative formulas in order to prove your general rule works.
| If the question is about... | Your Primary Method | Your Justification Method (Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Solving for x | Isolating the variable | Substitution: Plug the answer back in. |
| Right Triangles | Trigonometry (sin cos tan) | Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. |
| Area/Volume | Standard Formula | Break the shape into smaller squares/triangles. |
| Sequences | Finding the general rule (nth term) | - Use other sequence within the question (e.g the perimeter sequence) and this is usually given, and derive IT'S general rule into an equation to prove your area formula for example |
These are just my suggestions on what i would do to approach the question
