Definition of a sequence

An ordered list of numbers arranged in a specific pattern

Definition of a term in a sequence

Each individual number in the sequence

What does TnT_n represent?

The nth term (general term)

Characteristic of arithmetic sequences

Constant difference between consecutive terms

Characteristic of geometric sequences

Constant ratio between consecutive terms

Formula for common difference

d=Tn−Tn−1d = T_n - T_{n-1}

Standard form formula for arithmetic sequences

Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d

What does 'a' represent in Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d?

The first term

What does 'd' represent in Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d?

The common difference
