Lesson 3-1 Geometric Series Secondary Math 3 Lesson 3-1 Geometric Series
Vocabulary Sequence: a list of numbers 𝑎 1 , 𝑎 2 , 𝑎 3 , 𝑎 4 ,…, 𝑎 𝑛 , … 𝑎 1 is the first term, and 𝑎 𝑛 is the 𝑛𝑡ℎ term or general term of the sequence Finite Sequence: A sequence that contains a first and last term Infinite Sequence: A sequence that has a first term, but continues without end. Series: 𝑆= 𝑎 1 + 𝑎 2 + 𝑎 3 + 𝑎 4 +…+ 𝑎 𝑛 +…, is the sum of a sequence. Can be Finite or infinite. Geometric Series: the sum of the terms of a geometric sequence. 𝑆=𝑎+𝑎𝑟+𝑎 𝑟 2 +𝑎 𝑟 3 +…+𝑎 𝑟 𝑛 +… 𝑎 is the first term and 𝑟 is the common ratio
