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.
