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
