Arithematic, Geometric and Quadratic Sequences Flashcards
How to describe a sequence?
- Type of sequence.
- Common difference / ratio or second difference.
How to describe a Sequence?
- Type of sequence.
- Common difference / ratio or second difference.
What is the General Rule for Arithematic Sequence?
u1 + (n-1)d
u1 = 1st. term
d = common difference.
What is the General Rule for Geometric Sequence?
a(r)^n-1
a = 1st term.
r = common ratio.
State General Term of Quadratic Sequence.
Un = an^2 + bn + c
Quadratic Sequence.
State Equation for a.
second diff. /2
Quadratic Sequence.
State Equation for b.
3a + b = 2nd term. - 1st term.
Quadratic Sequence.
State Equation for c.
a + b + c = 1st term.
Geometric Sequence:
State General Rule for Geometric Sequence.
un = a(r)^n-1
Arithematic Sequence:
State General Term for Arithematic Sequence.
an = a1. + (n-1)d
a1 = 1st term.
d = difference.
How to Find 100th term of the sequence?
intert n=100 into general rule.
How to Prove that x is a part of the sequence.
Insert an / un = x into the equation.
Solve to see if final result is an integer.
