Define Arithmetic Sequence?

An arithmetic sequence has a common difference which is added to each term to get the next one.

Define geometric sequence.

A geometric sequence has a common ratio  which each term is multiplied by to get the next one.

What are the three SOHCAHTOA ratios?

sinθ=hypotenuse/opposite
cos⁡θ=adjacent/hypotenuse
tanθ=adjacent/opposite

How do you convert between degrees and radians?

Multiply by phi/180 to go from degrees to radians, and by 180/phi to go the other way.

What has a face and two hands but no arms or legs?

A clock

True or False?

An arithmetic sequence must increase.

A negative common difference makes the sequence decrease, term by term.

200

How do you find the common ratio from two consecutive terms?

Divide a term by the one immediately before it

What is the sum of the first  terms of an arithmetic series?

Sn= n/2 (2a+(n-1)d

300

When does a geometric series converge?

When, so the terms creep closer and closer to zero.

300

True or False?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the angle you are working with.


False.
The hypotenuse is fixed by the right angle, not by whichever angle you happen to be using.

How many degrees are equal to 2π radians?

360

Given the fourth and ninth terms of an arithmetic series, how do you find  and ?

Put each into the th term formula to get two simultaneous equations.

True or False:
A divergent geometric series has a finite sum to infinity.

False.
A divergent geometric series does not have a finite sum to infinity.

I have no beginning and no end. What shape am I?

A Circle

What is the difference between a sequence(n-term) and a series?

The terms are exactly the same in both; a series is what you get when those terms are added together.
