Arithmetic Sequences

arithmetic sequence  The values of the truck in the example are said to form an arithmetic sequence because they change by a constant amount each year  The sum of the arithmetic sequence formula says S_n = n2 S_n = n2 (2a + d), where a_1 a is the first term and d is the

Arithmetic sequences are also known as linear sequences because, if you plot the position on a horizontal axis and the term on the vertical axis, you get a This video provides a basic introduction into arithmetic sequences and series It explains how

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers which increases or decreases by a constant amount each term  In the next example the common difference is negative E X A M P L E 2 An arithmetic sequence of decreasing terms Write a formula for the nth term of the
