An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers which follow a rule. A series is the sum of a sequence of numbers.

What are arithmetic series?

An arithmetic series is a fairly similar to an arithmetic sequence except for the fact that in a series you are adding the numbers in between, not putting commas. Example: Sequence 1,3,5,7,.........n Series 1+3+5+7+..........+n Hope this helped(:


Is 1 1 1 1 1 an arithmetic sequence?

Yes, with a difference of zero between terms. It is also a geometric series, with a ratio of 1 in each case.


About arithmetic sequence and series?

The question needs to be a bit more specific than that!


What are the next three numbers in the following sequence 1 5 16 37 71 121?

This sequence is an arithmetic series that makes use of another series. This sequence advances by adding the series 4, 11, 21, 34, and 50 to the initial terms. This secondary series has a difference of 7, 10, 13 and 16 which advance by terms of 3. So the next three numbers in the primary sequence are 190, 281 and 397.


What describes the sequence 1 1 2 3 5 is it arithmetic or geometric?

It is an arithmetic sequence. To differentiate arithmetic from geometric sequences, take any three numbers within the sequence. If the middle number is the average of the two on either side then it is an arithmetic sequence. If the middle number squared is the product of the two on either side then it is a geometric sequence. The sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and so on is the Fibonacci series, which is an arithmetic sequence, where the next number in the series is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thus F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2). Note that the Fibonacci sequence always begins with the two numbers 0 and 1, never 1 and 1.
