USING AND WRITING SEQUENCES The numbers in sequences are called terms. You can think of a sequence as a function whose domain is a set of consecutive integers. If a domain is not specified, it is understood that the domain starts with 1.
USING AND WRITING SEQUENCES DOMAIN: n an RANGE: 1 3 2 6 3 9 4 12 5 15 The domain gives the relative position of each term. The range gives the terms of the sequence This is a finite sequence having the rule an = 3 n, where an represents the nth term of the sequence.
Writing Terms of Sequences Write the first six terms of the sequence an = 2 n + 3. SOLUTION a 1 = 2(1) + 3 = 5 1 st term a 2 = 2(2) + 3 = 7 2 nd term a 3 = 2(3) + 3 = 9 3 rd term a 4 = 2(4) + 3 = 11 4 th term a 5 = 2(5) + 3 = 13 5 th term a 6 = 2(6) + 3 = 15 6 th term
Writing Terms of Sequences Write the first six terms of the sequence f (n) = (– 2) n – 1. SOLUTION f (1) = (– 2) 1 – 1 = 1 1 st term f (2) = (– 2) 2 – 1 = – 2 2 nd term f (3) = (– 2) 3 – 1 = 4 3 rd term f (4) = (– 2) 4 – 1 = – 8 4 th term f (5) = (– 2) 5 – 1 = 16 5 th term f (6) = (– 2) 6 – 1 = – 32 6 th term
Arithmetic Sequences How do I define an arithmetic sequence and how do I use the formula to find different terms of the sequence?
Arithmetic Sequences and Series Arithmetic Sequence: sequence whose consecutive terms have a common difference. Example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, . . . The terms have a common difference of 2. The common difference is the number d. To find the common difference you use an+1 – an Example: Is the sequence arithmetic? – 45, – 30, – 15, 0, 15, 30 Yes, the common difference is 15 How do you find any term in this sequence? To find any term in an arithmetic sequence, use the formula an = a 1 + (n – 1)d where d is the common difference.
