What is an arithmetic-geometric mean?

An arithmetic-geometric mean is a mean of two numbers which is the common limit of a pair of sequences, whose terms are defined by taking the arithmetic and geometric means of the previous pair of terms.

What are the types and uses of sequence?

There are different types of sequences such as arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, and Fibonacci sequences. Sequences are used in mathematics to study patterns, predict future terms, and model real-world situations, such as population growth or financial investments. Patterns in sequences can help in making predictions and solving problems in various fields like engineering, physics, and computer science.

Yes.


How do you find the sum of a series of numbers?

There is no simple answer. There are simple formulae for simple sequences such as arithmetic or geometric progressions; there are less simple solutions arising from Taylor or Maclaurin series. But for the majority of sequences there are no solutions.
