Section outline

  • Description of Unit:  This topic expands students’ understandings and skills related to sequences and series.  Students will identify mathematical patterns found in a sequence, find a rule to describe a pattern, find the common difference of an arithmetic sequence, find the common ration of a geometric sequence, and determine whether a geometric series converges.

    Key Vocabulary: arithmetic mean, arithmetic sequence, common difference, common ratio, converge, diverge, explicit formula, geometric mean, geometric sequence, geometric series, recursive formula, and term of a sequence.
