What is a sequence on which term is found by adding the same number?

A sequence in which each term is found by adding the same number to the previous term is called an arithmetic sequence. In this type of sequence, the difference between consecutive terms, known as the common difference, remains constant. For example, in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, each term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term. This consistent pattern defines the arithmetic nature of the sequence.

What are a sequence of seven such numbers?

A sequence of seven numbers is a set of numbers arranged in a specific order. Each number in the sequence is called a term. For example, a sequence of seven numbers could be {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}, where each term differs by a constant value of 2. Sequences can follow different patterns, such as arithmetic sequences where each term is found by adding a constant value to the previous term, or geometric sequences where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant value.


Is geometric sequence multiplying and dividing?

A geometric sequence (aka Geometric Progression or GP) is one where each term is the previous term multiplied by a constant (the common difference) As division is the inverse of multiplication, each term can also be said to be the previous term divided by the reciprocal of the constant. The sum Sn of n terms of a GP can be found by: Sn = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r) = a(rⁿ - 1)/(r - 1) where: a is the first term r is the common difference n is the number of terms If the value of the common difference is between -1 and 1 (ie |r| < 1), then the sum of the GP will be finite since as n→ ∞ so rⁿ → 0, and will be: S = a/(1 - r)

What is found by multiplying the previous term by the same number?

If I understand your question, you are asking what kind of sequence is one where each term is the previous term times a constant. The answer is, a geometric sequence.


What is numerical pattern that increases or decreases at a constant rate or value?

An arithmetic sequence is a numerical pattern where each term increases or decreases by a constant value. This constant value is called the common difference.
