sequences and series

Cards (3)

  • nth term of an arithmetic sequence
    un = a + (n-1)d
    sum of arithmetic series
    Sn = n/2 (2a + (n-1)d)
  • nth term of a geometric sequence
    un = ar^(n-1)
  • a sequence is increasing if un+1 is greater than un
    a sequence is decreasing if un+1 is less than un
