Riley and Val oneshots

Dyslexic girlfriend

Pov Nobody

Val and Riley were a couple who loved diving into challenging math problems together. Val, with her knack for numbers and equations, often guided Riley through the intricacies of mathematical concepts. Riley, who had dyslexia, sometimes found it challenging to parse through complex formulas and calculations.

One evening, as they sat together in Val's cozy study room, Riley approached her with a notebook in hand, looking both determined and slightly puzzled.

"Hey Val, can you help me with this sequence problem?" Riley asked, handing over her notebook.

Val smiled, recognizing Riley's enthusiasm for learning despite the difficulties posed by dyslexia. She took the notebook and scanned through the problem statement.

"Alright, let's see what we have here," Val murmured, her eyes scanning the page. She read aloud, "U_n equals negative 4n squared plus 7n plus 9."

Riley nodded eagerly. "Yeah, that's it! But I'm stuck on finding the limit as n approaches infinity. The math gets a bit fuzzy for me."

Val leaned back in her chair, thinking for a moment. She knew that explaining the concept clearly would be key, especially considering Riley's dyslexia.

"Okay, Riley, let's break it down," Val began gently. "When we're looking for the limit as n goes to infinity, we focus on the term in the equation that grows the fastest. In this case, that's negative 4n squared."

Riley nodded, her brow furrowed in concentration.

"So, as n gets bigger and bigger," Val continued, "negative 4n squared becomes overwhelmingly negative. The plus 7n and plus 9 terms are there, but they don't have as much impact when n is really large. That's why the overall sequence tends towards negative infinity."

Understanding dawned on Riley's face. "Oh, I get it now! So, no matter how big n gets, the sequence U_n will keep getting more and more negative because of that negative 4n squared term."

"Exactly!" Val exclaimed, pleased to see Riley grasping the concept. "You're doing great, Riley. Math can be tricky sometimes, but you're tackling it head-on."

Riley beamed, grateful for Val's patient explanation. "Thanks, Val. I really appreciate you breaking it down for me."

They spent the rest of the evening discussing more math problems, with Val guiding Riley through each step, ensuring she understood the concepts clearly despite her dyslexia. For Riley, having Val by her side not only made learning math more accessible but also strengthened their bond as a couple, built on mutual understanding and support.
