Using Explicit Formulas for Arithmetic Sequences We can think of anarithmetic sequenceas a function on the domain of the natural numbers; it is a linear function because it has a constant rate of change. The common difference is the constant rate of change, or the slope of the function. We...
be a geometric sequence with common quotient q. The n-th term of the sequence is given by a_n = a_1 x q^(n-1). How do you find the formula for an arithmetic sequence? Let a_1, a_2, ... be an arithmetic sequence with common difference r. The n-th term of the sequence ...
Explicit formula is useful to find any term of the sequence, without knowing the previous term. The explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence is an = a + (n - 1)d, and any term can be computed by substituting the n value for the term.

A recursive rule is a rule that explains how to get more terms of a sequence based off of previous terms. Recursive rules always include the first term(s) of a sequence as well as a formula for generating more terms. How do you write an arithmetic recursive formula? First, identify the...
The important formulas for precalculus are listed below: cos (A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2 (a + b)(a - b)= a2 - b2 (a + ib) × (a - ib) = a2 + b2 Sum of n terms in an arithmetic sequence, Sn = (n/2) [ 2a + (n ...
Microsoft Excel contains the AVERAGE function, which helps calculate the arithmetic mean for selected cells. The AVERAGE function sums up the values located within the specified range and the total is then divided by the number of cells, thus making it useful for the analysis of numerical data....
Write an explicit formula for the following geometric sequence.{−1,3,−9,27,…}{−1,3,−9,27,…}Show Solution In real-world scenarios involving arithmetic sequences, we may need to use an initial term of a0a0 instead of a1a1. In these problems we can alter the explicit ...
This paper proves several novel formulas for the length of a Farey sequence of order n. The formulas use different trade-offs between iteration and recurrence and they range from simple to more complex. The paper also describes several iterative alg
Array constants are a sequence of floating-point numbers, or strings, or booleans, formula errors. curly braces for array formulas (example : {=A1:A10*B1:B10}) The R1C1 notation is one of the two notations supported by Excel, where in RxxxCyyy xxx is a row and yyy is a column,...
