USING AND WRITING SEQUENCES
The numbers in sequences are called terms.
You can think of a sequence as a function whose domain
is a set of consecutive integers. If a domain is not
specified, it is understood that the domain starts with 1.
The domain gives
the relative position
of each term.
1 2 3 4 5
DOMAIN:
3 6 9 12 15
RANGE:
The range gives the
terms of the sequence
This is a finite sequence having the rule
an = 3n,
where an represents the nth term of the sequence.
USING AND WRITING SEQUENCES
n
an
Writing Terms of Sequences
Write the first six terms of the sequence an = 2n + 3.
SOLUTION
a1 = 2(1) + 3 = 5 1st term
2nd term
3rd term
4th term
6th term
a2 = 2(2) + 3 = 7
a3 = 2(3) + 3 = 9
a4 = 2(4) + 3 = 11
a5 = 2(5) + 3 = 13
a6 = 2(6) + 3 = 15
5th term
Writing Terms of Sequences
Write the first six terms of the sequence f(n) = (–2)n – 1
.
SOLUTION
f(1) = (–2) 1 – 1
= 1 1st term
2nd term
3rd term
4th term
6th term
f(2) = (–2) 2 – 1
= –2
f(3) = (–2) 3 – 1
= 4
f(4) = (–2) 4 – 1
= – 8
f(5) = (–2) 5 – 1
= 16
f(6) = (–2) 6 – 1
= – 32

Arithmetic Sequences
How do I define an arithmetic
sequence and how do I use the
formula to find different terms of the
sequence?
Arithmetic Sequences and Series
Arithmetic Sequence: sequence whose consecutive terms
have a common difference.
Example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ...
The terms have a common difference of 2.
The common difference is the number d.
To find the common difference you use an+1 – an
Example: Is the sequence arithmetic?
–45, –30, –15, 0, 15, 30
Yes, the common difference is 15
How do you find any term in this sequence?
To find any term in an arithmetic sequence, use the
formula an = a1 + (n – 1)d
where d is the common difference.
Find the 14th term of the
arithmetic sequence

  • 3. USING AND WRITING SEQUENCES The numbers in sequences are called terms. You can think of a sequence as a function whose domain is a set of consecutive integers. If a domain is not specified, it is understood that the domain starts with 1.
  • 4. The domain gives the relative position of each term. 1 2 3 4 5 DOMAIN: 3 6 9 12 15 RANGE: The range gives the terms of the sequence This is a finite sequence having the rule an = 3n, where an represents the nth term of the sequence. USING AND WRITING SEQUENCES n an

  • 7. Arithmetic Sequences How do I define an arithmetic sequence and how do I use the formula to find different terms of the sequence?
  • 8. Arithmetic Sequences and Series Arithmetic Sequence: sequence whose consecutive terms have a common difference. Example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ... The terms have a common difference of 2. The common difference is the number d. To find the common difference you use an+1 – an Example: Is the sequence arithmetic? –45, –30, –15, 0, 15, 30 Yes, the common difference is 15 How do you find any term in this sequence? To find any term in an arithmetic sequence, use the formula an = a1 + (n – 1)d where d is the common difference.
