Arithmetic SequenceAs we study sequences we need a way of naming the terms. a1 to represent the first term,a2 to represent the second term,a3 to represent the third term,and so on in this manner.
If we were talking about the 8th term we would use a8.
When we want to talk about general term call it the nth termand use an.

Arithmetic Sequence
To find a specific term,say the 5th or a5, you couldwrite out all of the terms.
But what about the 100th term(or a100 )?
We need to find a formula to get there directly without writing out the whole list.

Arithmetic SeriesSuppose we wanted to find the first 100 terms of 4, 7,10, 13, 16, 19, 22, . . . or S 100?
There must be a short cut.
The 100th term of the sequence is 301 using a100 = 4 + (100 1)3.
S100 = 4 + 7 + 10 +13 + . . . + 292 + 295 +298 + 301If we add the smallest and largest (4 + 301)= 305If we add the next two (7 + 298) = 305and continue (10 + 295) until they are all paired up (151+154).
We now have 50 pairs of 305, so...S100 = 4 + 7 + 10 +. . .+298 + 301 = 50(305) = 15250
Do you see a pattern?

Arithmetic SeriesS100 = 4 + 7 + 10 +. . .+298 + 301 = 50(305) = 15250
To use the formula, you'll need the first term, the last term, and the number of terms. If one of those is missing, use
an = a1 + (n 1)d to find it.

Sigma Notation
Sigma ( ) is the Greek letter S.
And means the sum of the terms in a sequence.
The difference between Sn and sigma is that Sn is always the first to the nth term.
means start with 3rd and sum up through the 9th term.

There are 21 terms from the tenth term to the 30th. It is tempting to say 20 terms but you need to include the tenth term. If you don't believe this, write the term numbers out and count them. There are (high low + 1) terms.

Sigma ( )can be used to describe the sum of a geometric series.
Examples:
We can still use , but to do so we must examine the sigma notation.
n = 4 Why? The bounds on below and on top indicate that.
a1 = 6 Why? The coefficient is all that remains when the base is powered by 0.
r = 3 Why? In the exponential chapter this was our growth rate.

So to know term 8 you need the value of term 7, and to know the nth term you need term n1

From your study of Probability:• n! is the product of n and all of the natural numbers less than it.
Example: 4!= 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 240!=1
• the binomial coefficient formula is the same as the formula for combinations
