  2. Precalculus Unit 2 Sequences & Series Do Now: Look at the pattern and write the next number or expression: • a) 1000, 500, 250, 125…  • b) 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16… • c) 1, -3, 9, -27… • d) 8, 3, -2, -7… • e) 2, 2 , 4, 4 … • f) 7a + 4b, 6a + 5b, 5a + 6b, 4a + 7b… • g) 1, 3, 7, 11, 16… Then determine: “just a sequence” OR Arithmetic OR Geometric • We will: • To find the next term in a sequence by looking for a pattern • To find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence • To find the position of a given term in an arithmetic sequence • To find arithmetic means

  3. Vocabulary Arithmetic Sequence- each term after the first is found by adding a constant, called the common difference, d, to the previous term Geometric Sequence – each term after the first is found by MULTIPLYING a constant, called the common ratio, r, to get the next term Sequence- a set of numbers {1, 3, 5, 7, …} Terms- each number in a sequence Common Difference- the number added to find the next term of an arithmetic sequence. Common Ratio - number multiplied to find the next term of an geometric sequence

  4. DO NOW answers 2, 5, 8, 11, 14…. You are ADDING to get the next term Defining nth term: In this case: In words: Each term equals the first term + the difference n-1 times. 3, 6, 12, 24, 48… You are MULTIPLYING to get the next term Defining nth term: R is the common ratio. In this case: In words: Each term equals the first term x the ratio n-1 times. Arithmetic v. Geometric

  8. Arithmetic sequence: each term is formed by adding a constant to the previous term • Common difference: the amount being added or subtracted from one term in a sequence to the next • Geometric sequence: sequence in which each term is formed by multiplying the previous term by a constant • Common ratio: the amount being multiplied • T1 or a1: if you have a sequence or series, this is a symbol for the first term • Tn or an: this is a general term that represents the nth term. • Tn-1: this term represents the term that comes BEFORE Arithmetic & Geometric SequencEs
