Chapter 8Infinite Sequences and Series For example: Find a formula for the general term of the sequence assuming that the pattern of the first few terms continues. example There are some sequences that don’t have a simple defining equation. The sequence where is the population of the world as of January 1 in the year n. example For example: It is obvious that the terms of the sequences {n/(n+1)} are approaching 1 as n becomes large. In fact the difference can be made as small as we like by taking n sufficiently large. We indicate this by writing In general ,we have
