Slide3Infinite SequencesLimits of Infinite Sequences Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Sequences and Graphing Calculators … and why Infinite sequences, especially those with finite limits, are involved in some key concepts of calculus.

Slide7Given the sequence   −2, 1, 4, 7, … find          (a) the common difference         (b) the tenth term         (c) a recursive rule for the   n th term         (d) an explicit rule for the  n th term.

Slide9Given the sequence 2, 6, 18, …Find           (a) the common ratio           (b) the tenth term           (c) a recursive rule for the   n th term             (d) an explicit rule for the  n th term

Slide10one way to graph a explicitly defined sequences is as scatterplots of the points of the form ( k , a k ). A second way is to use the sequence mode on a graphing calculator.
