Oh honey, that's just a fancy way of saying the sequence where you take a number, double it, then subtract 3. So, the sequence would go something like -3, 1, 5, 9, and so on. It's like math with a little extra pizzazz, but still just a basic pattern at the end of the day.
To write out a sequence from an equation, you work out what the equation says with n being the number of the term you are calculating. So for the 1st term we take n=1, and so 2n-3 = 2(1)-3 = -1. For the second term, you'd do n=2, and so 2n-3 = 2(2)-3 = 1. For the third term you'd do 2(3)-3 = 3, and so on. Using this method, the sequence derived from 2n-3 is -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9....
An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers which follow a rule. A series is the sum of a sequence of numbers.
Any pair of numbers will always form an arithmetic sequence.
The 90th term of the arithmetic sequence is 461
No, the Fibonacci sequence is not an arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is not constant
No, it is a single number.
