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.


Why is 11111 an arithmetic sequence?

A single number, such as 11111, cannot define an arithmetic sequence. On the other hand, it can be the first element of any kind of sequence. On the other hand, if the question was about ``1, 1, 1, 1, 1'' then that is an arithmetic sequence as there is a common difference of 0 between each term.


What is the 14th term in an arithmetic sequence in which the first term is 100 and the common difference is -4?

What is the 14th term in the arithmetic sequence in which the first is 100 and the common difference is -4? a14= a + 13d = 100 + 13(-4) = 48

How do you use a arithmetic sequence to find the nth term?

The difference between successive terms in an arithmetic sequence is a constant. Denote this by r. Suppose the first term is a. Then the nth term, of the sequence is given by t(n) = (a-r) + n*r or a + (n-1)*r


What is the sum of the first 12 terms of the arithmetic sequence?

The sum of the first 12 terms of an arithmetic sequence is: sum = (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d) = (12/2)(2a + (12 - 1)d) = 6(2a + 11d) = 12a + 66d where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

What is the d value of the following arithmetic sequence 16 9 2 5 12 19?

The sequence in the question is NOT an arithmetic sequence. In an arithmetic sequence the difference between each term and its predecessor (the term immediately before) is a constant - including the sign. It is not enough for the difference between two successive terms (in any order) to remain constant. In the above sequence, the difference is -7 for the first two intervals and then changes to +7.


Find the sum of the first 48 terms of an aritmetic sequance 2 4 6 8?

To find the sum of the first 48 terms of an arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: Sn = n/2 * (a1 + an), where Sn is the sum of the first n terms, a1 is the first term, and an is the nth term. In this case, a1 = 2, n = 48, and an = 2 + (48-1)*2 = 96. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: S48 = 48/2 * (2 + 96) = 24 * 98 = 2352. Therefore, the sum of the first 48 terms of the given arithmetic sequence is 2352.
