Study Notes
Arithmetic Sequences
- An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant
- In the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., the constant difference is 2, so the next number would be 10
- To obtain the next term in an arithmetic sequence, you add a constant value to the previous term
Sum of Arithmetic Series
- The sum of the first five terms in the arithmetic sequence 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 is 45
- You can find this sum by adding all of the terms together, or by using the formula:
- Sum = (n/2) * (a + l), where:
- n is the number of terms
- a is the first term
- l is the last term
Fibonacci Sequence
- The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence where the first two numbers are 0 and 1
- Each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two numbers
- The third number in the sequence is 1, the sum of 0 and 1
Types of Series
- Arithmetic Series: Series with a constant difference between consecutive terms.
- Geometric Series: Series with a constant ratio between consecutive terms.
- Fibonacci Series: Series where each term is the sum of the previous two terms.
Arithmetic Sequences
- In an arithmetic sequence, each term is found by adding a constant value to the previous term.
- This constant value is called the common difference.
- The sum of the first five terms in the arithmetic sequence 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 is 45.
Geometric Sequences
- In a geometric sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant value.
- This constant value is called the common ratio.
- The common ratio in the geometric sequence 3, 6, 12, 24 is 2.
Fibonacci Sequence
- The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1.
- Each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.
- The third number in the Fibonacci sequence is 1.
- The fifth number in the Fibonacci sequence is 3.
Series Formulas
- The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series can be calculated using the formula: S_n = a(1 - r^n) / (1 - r), where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio.

- Each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.
- The third number in the sequence is 1.
- The fifth number in the sequence is 3.
- The 7th term in the Fibonacci sequence is 8.
Summation Formulas
- The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series can be calculated using the formula: S_n = (n/2)(a + l), where 'a' is the first term, 'l' is the last term, and 'n' is the number of terms.
- The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series can be calculated using the formula: S_n = a(1 - r^n) / (1 - r), where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio.
