arithmetic sequence explicit formula
An= A1+d(n-1)
arithmetic sequence recursive formula
always state A1 first
A1=
An=An-1 + d
arithmetic sequence
what do a1=
An-1=
n=
d=
a1= first term
An-1=previous term
n= term number
d=common difference
Geometric explicit formula
An=A1 x (r)^n-1
geometric recursive formula
A1=
An=An-1 x r
geometric sequence
A1=
n=
r=
A1=first term
n= term number
r=common ratio
sigma notation
what does n mean
what does i=number mean
what does expression on right hand side mean
n= number of ending term in series(on top)
i=1 number of starting term in the series
expression= explicit formula
sums of finite sequences
- arithmetic series formula
N/2(a1+an)
A1= first erm
An= nth term in the sum
n= number of terms
Sums of finite sequences
-geometric series formula
A1-A1(r)^n/1-r
a1= first term
r= common ratio
n=number of terms
if percent occisoanly add one(bank)
