Objective: In this lesson you learned how to use sequence, factorial, and
summation notation to write the terms and sum of a
sequence.
Terms of a sequence The function values a1, a2, a3, a4, . . . , an, . . . of an infinite
sequence.
3, 9, − 1, 13, − 5
n!
Example 2: Evaluate the factorial expression .
( n + 1) !
1/(n + 1)
7
Example 3: Find the following sum: ∑ (2 + 3i) .
i =2
93
Consider the infinite sequence a1, a2, a3, . . . , ai, . . . . The sum of all
terms of the infinite sequence is called a(n) infinite series
∞
and is denoted by a1 + a 2 + a3 + L + ai + L = ∑ ai . The sum of
i =1
