Arithmetic and Geometric Series: Lesson 43
LESSON OBJECTIVE: • Find sums of arithmetic and geometric series. • Use Sigma Notation. • Find specific terms of geometric series.
DEFINITIONS • Arithmetic series: indicated sum of the terms of a sequence. • Sum of Arithmetic Series: The sum Sn of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is given by:
Sigma Notation: simple form of shorthand used to give a concise expression for a sum of the values of a variable. The summation sign, , instructs us to sum the elements of a sequence.
Stopping point upper limit of summation Summation sign • Index of summation: The variable Typical element Starting point lower limit of summation Index of summation
Geometric series: The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence. • Sum of Geometric Series: The sum Sn of the first n terms of a geometric series is given by:
