What is the formula for the general term of the arithmetic sequence?
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
How do you find out the nth term?
by the general formula ,a+(n-1)*d * * * * * That assumes that it is an arithmetic sequence. The sequence cound by geometric ( t(n) = a*rn ) or power ( t(n) = n2 ) or something else.
Rule to finding terms in a arithmetic sequence?
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence = a + [(n - 1) X d]
What is the simple formula for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 7 3 -1 -5 -9?
7 - 4n where n denotes the nth term and n starting with 0
What is the Formula for arithmetic progression?
An arithmetic sequence is usually given by a formula in which the nth term, T(n), is given in terms of the first term, a, and the common difference, d: t(n) = a + d*(n-1) where n= 1, 2, 3, etc An alternative is to define it iteratively. Thus: t1 = a tn = tn-1 + d , where n = 2, 3, 4, etc
What is the formula for the general term of the arithmetic sequence?
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
Can a recursive formula produce an arithmetic or geometric sequence?
arithmetic sequence * * * * * A recursive formula can produce arithmetic, geometric or other sequences. For example, for n = 1, 2, 3, ...: u0 = 2, un = un-1 + 5 is an arithmetic sequence. u0 = 2, un = un-1 * 5 is a geometric sequence. u0 = 0, un = un-1 + n is the sequence of triangular numbers. u0 = 0, un = un-1 + n(n+1)/2 is the sequence of perfect squares. u0 = 1, u1 = 1, un+1 = un-1 + un is the Fibonacci sequence.
What recursive formulas represents the same arithmetic sequence as the explicit formula an 5 n - 12?
-7
Can a sequence of numbers be both geometric and arithmetic?
Yes, it can both arithmetic and geometric.The formula for an arithmetic sequence is: a(n)=a(1)+d(n-1)The formula for a geometric sequence is: a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)Now, when d is zero and r is one, a sequence is both geometric and arithmetic. This is because it becomes a(n)=a(1)1 =a(1). Note that a(n) is often written anIt can easily observed that this makes the sequence a constant.Example:a(1)=a(2)=(i) for i= 3,4,5...if a(1)=3 then for a geometric sequence a(n)=3+0(n-1)=3,3,3,3,3,3,3and the geometric sequence a(n)=3r0 =3 also so the sequence is 3,3,3,3...In fact, we could do this for any constant sequence such as 1,1,1,1,1,1,1...or e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e...In general, let k be a constant, the sequence an =a1 (r)1 (n-1)(0) with a1 =kis the constant sequence k, k, k,... and is both geometric and arithmetic.
How do you find out the nth term?
by the general formula ,a+(n-1)*d * * * * * That assumes that it is an arithmetic sequence. The sequence cound by geometric ( t(n) = a*rn ) or power ( t(n) = n2 ) or something else.
How do you find terms in arithmetic sequences?
The following formula generalizes this pattern and can be used to find ANY term in an arithmetic sequence. a'n = a'1+ (n-1)d.
What is the formula to find sum of n odd numbers?
The set of odd numbers is an arithmetic sequence. Let say that the sequence has n odd numbers where the first term is a1 and the last one is n. The formula to find the sum on nth terms for an arithmetic sequence is: Sn = (n/2)(a1 + an) or Sn = (n/2)[2a1 + (n - 1)d] where d is the common difference that for odd numbers is 2. Sn = (n/2)(2a1 + 2n - 2)
Rule to finding terms in a arithmetic sequence?
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence = a + [(n - 1) X d]
What is an nth term in an arithmetic sequence?
The nth term is referring to any term in the arithmetic sequence. You would figure out the formula an = a1+(n-1)d-10where an is your y-value, a1 is your first term in a number sequence (your x-value), n is the term you're trying to find, and d is the amount you're increasing by.
What is the simple formula for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 7 3 -1 -5 -9?
7 - 4n where n denotes the nth term and n starting with 0
The simple formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is an equals 4n plus 16 What is the explicit formula corresponding to the simple formula?
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a1 + (n-1)d, where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference. In this case, the first term a1 is 16, and the common difference d is 4. Therefore, the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence is an = 16 + 4(n-1) = 4n + 12.
What is the Formula for arithmetic progression?
An arithmetic sequence is usually given by a formula in which the nth term, T(n), is given in terms of the first term, a, and the common difference, d: t(n) = a + d*(n-1) where n= 1, 2, 3, etc An alternative is to define it iteratively. Thus: t1 = a tn = tn-1 + d , where n = 2, 3, 4, etc
