Patterns and Functions: Sequences

A sequence is a list of numbers in a specific order. by determining the pattern, you can find additional numbers in the sequence. Sequences are formed by adding and subtracting numbers called arithmetic sequences. Sequences formed by multiplying or dividing numbers are called geometric sequences.

What is the formula and way of solving an arithmetic series?

First, you must use the formula aᴺ=a¹+d(n-1) to find the number of terms in the series, next you must take that number of terms and plug it into the formula: sᴺ=n(a¹+aᴺ)/2 (both the sᴺ and n are representing the number of terms which were previously found)
