Arithmetic Sequences And Series - By Catherine Magoye
How to use this applet:Enter your sequence in textfields provided at the top of the screen and hit leap button to see if it is a valid sequence.Notes on the maths used in the applet:a0, a1 , a2 , a3 , …, an , a n+1, …
An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers in which each sucessor term(a n+1) is the result of adding a fixed constant to the previous term(an).
a0 + a1 + a2 + a3 + …+ an + a n+1+ …
An arithmetic series is simply an arithmetic sequence added up.
It is important to know two things about a sequence, the first term a0 and the common difference(d) i.e. the fixed term added to each term to get the next.
