A sequence is an ordered set of numbers that have a common difference between each consecutive term.
What is an Arithmetic Sequence?
A sequence is a list of numbers, where the next term of the sequence is found by multiplying the term by a constant.
What is a Geometric?
A sequence in which terms are defined using one or more previous terms which are given.
What is a Recursive sequence?
A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers or a subset of the natural numbers.
What is sequence vs. function?
Addition produces incremental growth, but multiplication produces exponential growth.
What is Growth by Multiplication vs. Growth by Addition?
What is the Formula for Arithmetic Sequences?
an=a1r(n−1)
What is a Geometric Sequence formula?
an = an-1 + d
What is the Recursive Formula?
An ordered list of numbers (called "terms")
What is a sequence?
A sequence that adds over time
What is Growth by Addition?

An expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).
What is a function?
