Write down an expression for the sum to n – 1 terms. Find an expression for the nth term, Show that the series is an A.P. and find the first term and common difference. Example 3.8 * A sequence – a set of terms arranged in a particular order. Notation – Finite sequence Infinite sequence The sequence is a convergent sequence if there exists a real number l such that A sequence that is not convergent is described as divergent. Find the nth term for each of the following sequences. Hence, determine whether the sequence is convergent or divergent. For a convergent sequence, state its limit. (i) (ii) If and are the nth terms of two sequences where and respectively, find the limit of each sequence when . Hence, find A series – a sum of terms in a sequence. Notation – Finite series Infinite series The series is a convergent series if there exists a real number S such that A series that is not convergent is described as divergent. Express each of the following series by using the summation notation . (i) (ii) Write down the first three terms and last term of the following series. (i) (ii) In general, an arithmetic progression can be written as: where a = the first term d = the common difference where l = the last term If a, b, c is an arithmetic sequence, then the arithmetic mean of a and c is b, where Given that the fifth term of an arithmetic progr
