arithmetic-
+/-
geometric-
x/divide
harmonic-
reciprocal of an arithmetic sequence
fibonacci-
adding the two previous numbers
square numbers-
square of a number
cube numbers-
cube of a numer: example. 1, 8, 27, 64
common difference:
d = a(n) - a(n - 1)
sequence
= a1, a1+d, a1+2d
general term-
an= a1+(n-1)d
an-
nth term
a1-
1st term
(
n-1
) - position
d
- common difference
formula of an arithmetic sequence-
an=a1+(n-1)d
common ratio-
an/an-1
geometric sequence formula-
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
r-
common ratio
