Last TimeArithmetic Sequence Arithmetic Series
List of numbers with a common difference between consecutive terms
Ex. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Sum of an arithmetic sequence
Ex. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
To find the nth term in an arithmetic sequence we use
To find the sum of a finite arithmetic series we use
Sequence Vs. Series
Is it an arithmetic sequence or an arithmetic series?
What is the common difference (d)?
81 + 83 + 85 + 87 + ... 8, 12, 16, 20, …
4 + -3 + -10 + -17 + …

Geometric Sequence
Geometric Sequence has a constant (r) that when you multiply a term by r you get the next term in the sequence.We call r the common ratio
Write out the next 3 terms in the geometric sequence
Write the first 3 terms out
a1 is our first term
Are the following sequences geometric or arithmetic or neither?
1, 2, 4, -8, …
1, 7, 13, 19, 25, …
81, 27, 9, 3, 1, …
81, 27, 9, 3, 1, … r =
to find a6 , a12 , an we can use the equation
Find an of
Geometric Series
Add the terms of a geometric sequence to get a geometric series
To find the sum of the first n terms we use:
Find the S6 of 1 + 5 + 25 + 125 + 625 + …
Find.
Find n such that Sn = 341 of the geometric
series 1 + 4 + 16 + 64 + …
SummaryGeometric Sequence Geometric Series
Sequence where you multiply a term by r to get the next term
Ex. 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
Sum of a geometric sequence
Ex. 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81
To find the nth term in a geometric sequence we use
To find the sum of a finite geometric series we use
