The notation of a sequence can be simply denoted as {an}, meaning a1, a2, …, an, … For any three consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence, … , ak – 1 , ak , ak + 1 , … akis called the arithmetic/geometric mean of ak – 1 and ak + 1if the sequence is arithmetic/geometric.
If three consecutive terms, … , ak – 1 , ak , ak + 1 , … in an arithmetic sequence, then ak = ak – 1 + d ak = ak + 1 – d ak + ak = ak – 1 + ak + 1 2ak = ak– 1 + ak + 1 Or, ak is the arithmetic average of ak – 1 and ak + 1.
If three consecutive terms, … , ak – 1 , ak , ak + 1 , … in a geometric sequence, then Or, ak is the geometric average of ak – 1 and ak + 1.

Challenge Question Sum of non-arithmetic and non-geometric series Find the formula for the sum of the first n terms of the series, or Sn, then find the sum The integer part of the each term forms a arithmetic series and the fraction part of each term forms a geometric series: We apply two formula, one for arithmetic series and one for geometric series to get the overall formula for Sn:
Challenge Question Textbook P. 503 #30 (Sum of non-arithmetic and non-geometric series.) Find the formula for the sum of the first n terms of the series, or Sn, then find the sum of the infinite series by using limit. Each term can be decomposed to half of the difference of two fractions – numerators are all 1 and the denominators are the two integers, respectively: Starting from the second group, each first term within each parentheses can be cancel out by the second terms in the preceding group, respectively.
The only terms are not canceled out are 1 and –1/(2n + 1). So, Therefore the limit of the sum is
