1. Sequences and Their Terms

  • A sequence is an arrangement of numbers in a definite order according to some rule.
  • The terms of a sequence are written as a1, a2, a3, ..., an, where the subscript shows the position.
  • The nth term is also called the general term of the sequence.

2. Series and Sigma Notation

  • A series is the expression formed by adding the terms of a sequence.
  • Sigma notation is a compact way to write a series.
  • The expression a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + an is written as sum from k=1 to n of ak.

3. Geometric Progression and General Term

  • A geometric progression is a sequence in which each term is non-zero and the ratio of a term to the previous term is constant.
  • This constant ratio is called the common ratio and is denoted by r.
  • If the first term is a, then the G.P. is written as a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, ...

4. Sum of n Terms of a G.P.

  • The sum of the first n terms of a G.P. is written as S_n.
  • There are two separate cases for the sum formula.
  • If r = 1, then all terms are equal and S_n = na.
