Study Notes
Arithmetic Sequence Formula
- The formula for an arithmetic sequence is ( a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) \cdot d ), where:
- ( a_n ) = the nth term
- ( a_1 ) = the first term
- ( n ) = the number of terms
- ( d ) = the common difference between terms.
Example #1 Key Data
- The beginning amount of money is the initial value or contribution which can be identified as the first term ( a_1 ).
- The final amount of money represents the last term in the sequence or the nth term ( a_n ) after all contributions.
- The amount raised by each student is referred to as the common difference ( d ) within the sequence.
- The number of students participating in the fundraising event corresponds to ( n), the total count of terms in the sequence.
