ARITHMETIC GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE

SEQUENCE - Is a sequence of numbers that

follows a pattern were the next
- Is a list of numbers with a term is found by multiplying by a
definite pattern. If you take any constant called the common
number in the sequence then ratio, r.
subtract it by the previous
- Is any sequence, finite or infinite,
one, and the result is always
for which the quotient between
the same or constant then it is
any two consecutive terms is
an arithmetic sequence.
always the same.
EXAMPLE:
 Find the next three terms of the EXAMPLE:
sequence 3,5,7,9…
5-3 = 2  Find the constant ratio of the geometric
7-5 = 2 sequence:
9-7 = 2
Common Difference = 2 2,10,50,….5
9+2 = 11 5,10,20…..2
11+2 = 13
3,9,27……3
13+2 = 15
 3,5,7,9,11 ,13 ,15

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE HARMONIC SEQUENCE

- Is a set of numbers that starts
with a one or a zero, followed
by a one, and proceeds based
on the rule that each number
(called a Fibonacci number) is
equal to the sum of the
preceding two numbers.
- Is a sequence of a real numbers
formed by taking the reciprocals
of an arithmetic progression.
Equivalently, it is a sequence of
real numbers such thst any term
in the sequence is the harmonic
mean of its two neighbors.

EXAMPLE: EXAMPLE:
0,2,2,4,6,10,16,26… The sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8…….. is
anarithmetic progression, so its reciprocals
The next number is found by adding up
the two numbers before it. 1/1,12,1/3,1/4,1/5,1/6,1/7,1/8…….are a
harmonic progression.
 The 4 is found by adding the two
numbers before it(2+2)
 The 6 is found by adding the two
numbers before it(2+4)
 And the 10 is(4+6)
 And so on!
