- For instance, we write the terms of the sequence 4. List the first three terms of the sequence whose
Objectives f(1), f(2), f(3), f(4), …, f(n)… nth term is 𝑎𝑛 =
(2𝑛)!
. Begin with 0.
2𝑛 𝑛!
The students will be able to: as

2. Solve the terms of a sequence. - Like sets, sequences can also be finite or infinite.
3. Understand sigma notation and apply sigma Sigma Notation

sequence. - It is a convenient and concise way to write out a
4. Understand the differences between arithmetic, - It is the sum of infinite quantities. long sum. This name comes from the use of the
geometric, and harmonic sequences. - The sum of the terms of a sequence. upper-case Greek letter sigma, written as Σ.
5. Solve for the nth term of an arithmetic - By sigma notation, the sum of the first n terms of
progression. an {an} sequence is: Properties of Sums
6. Solve for the sum of n terms of an arithmetic
progression.
