1
Objective: TSW Find the sum of arithmetic and geometric series using sigma notation.
2
Sigma Notation UPPER BOUND (NUMBER) Last Value LOWER BOUND (NUMBER) First Value SIGMA (SUM OF TERMS) NTH TERM (SEQUENCE)
3
To Use Sigma Notation: Figure out the number of terms, to do: Take the last value subtract from your first value then add 1. FOR ARITHMETIC SERIES: Plug in your first value to find a 1, plug in your last value to find a n then use these values to find the sum of the arithmetic series using the formula: S n = FOR GEOMETRIC SERIES: Plug in your first value to find a 1 and “r” is in the “r” spot of the formula: a n = a 1 r (n-1), then use these values to find the sum of a geometric series using the formula: S n =
