Sequences Flashcards

A sequence where the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

The fixed amount added or subtracted in an arithmetic sequence.

A sequence where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant.

The fixed number multiplied in a geometric sequence.

A formula that allows you to find any term in a sequence by substituting the term number (n).

A sequence with a constant difference between terms, represented by a straight-line graph.

A sequence where the second differences between terms are constant.

A sequence where each term is the sum of the two previous terms (e.g., 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...).

The difference between consecutive first differences in a sequence, used to identify quadratic sequences.

Use the formula an + b, where a is the common difference and b is the first term minus a.
