What does summation of infinite series?
The summation of a geometric series to infinity is equal to a/1-rwhere a is equal to the first term and r is equal to the common difference between the terms.
Which number should come at the end of the series 1 4 9 16?
The next number is 25 but there are the sequence is infinite so there can be no end to the sequence.
What is the difference between a sequence and a series?
The sum of the terms in a sequence is called a series. Sequence is a function whose domain is the natural numbers. So f(1)= first entry in the sequence, and f(2) is the next.... f(n) is the nth term. We usually don't write sequences that way. Instead of f(1) we write, a1 to refer to the first term. The function tells us the rule we use to find the terms of the sequence. So for example, f says take n and square it. Then the first 3 terms of the sequence are 1, 4 and 9 and the first 3 terms of the series are 1, 5 and 14
What is the term for A sequence of numbers in which the ratio between two consecutive numbers is a constant?
A geometric series.
What is the difference between an arithmetic series and a geometric series?
An arithmetic series is the sequence of partial sums of an arithmetic sequence. That is, if A = {a, a+d, a+2d, ..., a+(n-1)d, ... } then the terms of the arithmetic series, S(n), are the sums of the first n terms and S(n) = n/2*[2a + (n-1)d]. Arithmetic series can never converge.A geometric series is the sequence of partial sums of a geometric sequence. That is, if G = {a, ar, ar^2, ..., ar^(n-1), ... } then the terms of the geometric series, T(n), are the sums of the first n terms and T(n) = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r). If |r| < 1 then T(n) tends to 1/(1 - r) as n tends to infinity.
