General forms of a sequence

GENERAL FORMS OF A SEQUENCE



Sequence- Is an ordered list of terms or elements


Arithmetic  sequence formulaIn an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant. Also called the Common Difference

Geometric sequence formula-  In a Geometric Sequence each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant. Also called the Common Ratio.

Finite sequence- Is a function with domain 1,2,3.

Infinite sequence- Is a function with domain 1,2,3,4.... etc.

Series- Is the sum of a sequence.

Explicit formula-  Each domain is an answer not based on any values.

Recursive Formula-  Each domain is a answer based on a previous answer.
