3. Infinite Sequences Limits 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.

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

9. Given the sequence 2, 6, 18, … Find (a) the common ratio (b) the tenth term (c) a recursive rule for the nth term (d) an explicit rule for the nth term

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

11. Create a scatter plot: Sequence mode:
