What to Focus On

  • A sequence is an ordered list of numbers.
  • Sequences may be finite or infinite.
  • Each number in a sequence is called a term.
  • An explicit formula uses n directly.
  • It gives the term value without previous terms.
  • Odd numbers have explicit rule u_n = 2n - 1.
  • A recursive rule uses previous term(s).
  • Earlier terms are needed to find later terms.
  • APs can be written recursively.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any list of numbers is a sequence, even if the order does not matter.

A sequence must be infinite, so a finite sequence is not a real sequence.

The position number n and the value of the term are the same thing.
