3. Sequences 9.1-9.3

4. What is n? n is the number spot of the term in a sequence. n 3 is the third number in the sequence (list) A n the result for the last term or the term you are looking to find.

5. Sequence Formulas Arithmetic Adding----uses a common difference Formula: a n =a 1 +(n-1)d Geometric Multiplying----uses a common ratio Formula: a n =a 1 *r (n-1)

28. A runner begins training by running 5 mi. one week. The second week she runs a total of 6.5 mi. The third week she runs 8 mi. Assume this pattern continues. 1. How far will she run in the tenth week? 2. At the end of the tenth week, what will be the total distance she has run since she started training? 3. Express the total distance with summation notation (Σ).

29. Suppose on Jan. 1 you deposit $1.00 in an empty piggy bank. On Jan. 8 you deposit $1.50; on Jan. 15 you deposit $2.00; and each week thereafter you deposit $0.50 more than the previous week. 1. What kind of sequence do these deposits generate? 2. What amount will you deposit in the 52nd week? 3. What is the total in the piggy bank at the end of these 52 weeks?
