Unit 5 test Flashcards
S = n ( a + a )
n 1 2
___________
2
- To find the sum of a # term
Sum of the first n term of arithmetic sequence - a Get it by using a = a + (n-1) d
2 n 1
a = a + (n - 1) d
n 1
Rule for arithmetic sequence
- how much it adds or subtract
- n= number of terms
n-1
a = a r
n 1
Rule for a geometric sequence
r= multiply or divide
n S = a (1- r) n 1 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 1-r
r does not equal 1
Sum of finite geometric series
S= a
1
_________
1- r
r < conver
r > diverges
Sum of infinite geometric series

Series
When the term in a sequence are added, the resulting expression is a series
Sequence
Is an ordered set of # each # in the sequence is a term of a sequence. May be infinite and may be limited # of term.
Example : find the seventh term of (x+2) ^ 10 ?
n-r r
n= ? C X Y
x= ? n r
y = ?
r = ?
4 6 n!
C X Y __________
10 6 r! (n-r) !
