Series and sequence

Cards (23)

  • Sequence- series of numbers
  • arithmetic sequence- adding or subtracting a common number
  • 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
  • SUM OF FIRST NTH TERMS OF ARITHMETIC
    sn- (a1+an)n/2
    n/2 [2a1+(n-1)d]
  • SUM OF INFINITE SERIES ARITHMETIC
    d>0= +infinity
    d<0= - infinity
  • SUM OF FIRST NTH TERMS OF GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE- sn= a1(1-r^n/1-r)
  • SUM OF INFINITE SERIES GEOMETRIC S- r<1=a1/1-r s- r>/=0 = no sum
