A sequence is an ordered set of numbers. Introduction A progression is a sequence in which we can obtain the value of an element based on the values of the preceding elements. The following table shows the first four terms of two different sequences. We refer to each term in a sequence using the notation T n where n represents the position of the term. Both sequences are progressions. Term Term Term Term 4 T T T T 4 Sequence Sequence A series is the sum of the elements of a sequence. For eample, if we add the values of the second sequence in the previous table, we have the series Arithmetic progressions (AP) An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence in which each term after the first term is formed b adding a constant value (d) to the preceding term. Geometric progressions (GP) A geometric progression (GP) is a sequence in which each term after the first term is formed b multipling the preceding term b a constant ratio (r).

Arithmetic and geometric means Arithmetic mean (AM) If a; ; b is an arithmetic progression then is the arithmetic mean of a and b. T T = T T b = a = a + b a + b = the arithmetic mean is a + b Eample Calculate the arithmetic mean of and. + AM = = 4 = 7 Therefore, ; 7; ; is an arithmetic sequence.

Insert four arithmetic means between 4 and Insert three geometric means between and 4. 4 Sigma notation The smbol is the Greek smbol sigma. We use this smbol to find the sum of a sequence. When we add the terms in a sequence, we call this a series. For eample, if we have a sequence 5; 8; ; 4; 7, then the series is

19 Eample 5 Evaluate: (n + ) n = 5 n = (n + )means that we need to find the sum of a sequence. To find the terms of the sequence, we first substitute n = into the general term of n +. Then, we substitute n =, n =, and so on, until we reach n = 5. So, the number below the sigma smbol tells us where to start (n = ), and the number above the sigma smbol tells us where to stop (n = 5). 5 So (n + ) = (. + ) + (. + ) + (. + ) + (. 4 + ) + (. 5 + ) n = = = 55 Eample 6 Evaluate: (. r ) r = 0 In this case, we start with r = 0 and stop when r = 6. In other words, we begin b substituting r = 0 into the general term. r and continue to r = 6. 6 r = 0 (. r ) = Eample = = = 86 0 Evaluate: ( i + 5) i = In this case, we start b substituting i = into the general term i + 5, and continue to i = 0: 0 i = ( i + 5)= (. + 5) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) = ( 6 + 5) + ( 8 + 5) + ( 0 + 5) + ( + 5) + ( 4 + 5) + ( 6 + 5) + ( 8 + 5) + ( 0 + 5) = = 64

20 Number of terms = top number bottom number + 5 In Eample, (n + )the number of terms is 5 + = 5. n = 6 In Eample, (. r ) the number of terms is = 7. r = 0 0 In Eample, ( i + 5)the number of terms is 0 + = 8. b i = So if T n the number of terms in the series will be b a +. n = a Also, note that each eample used different variables (n, r and i). Eample 4 6 Evaluate: 5 n = We know that there are 6 + = 6 terms in this series. Here, the general term is a constant, so we write the series as follows: 6 n = 5 = = 6 5 = 0 Writing a series in sigma notation Eample Write the following series in sigma notation: First, we need to determine the general term, T n, for the series. The series is an arithmetic series with a = 5 and d =. Therefore: T n = a + (n )d = 5 + (n ) = 5 + n = n + Now we write in the formula after the sigma smbol:... n =... (n + ) Net, we need to determine the numbers above and below the sigma smbol. To do so, we need to solve the following equations: The first term of the series is 5: n + = 5 n = n = 5 n = n + The last term of the series is 7: n + = 7 n = 5 n = 5

21 Eample Write the following series in sigma notation: B inspection, we see that the series is made up of the first eight perfect squares = k Eample Write the following series in sigma notation: is a geometric series with a = 6 and r =. Therefore: k = T n = a. r k = 6. k 6 = = k = k =. + k =. k... k =.... k The first term of the series is 6: so. k = 6 k = Divide both sides of the equation b k = 4 k =. k The last term of the series is 48: so. k = 48 k = 6 k = 4 k = 4 Eercise.6. Evaluate the following: 0 5 a) r b) (r + 5) c) r = 6 ( i r = 0 8 n = 6 0 ( 5 n ) d) e) i = ) f). k g) r k = r =. Write the following in sigma notation: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) n = n 4

22 Series When we add the terms of an arithmetic progression we obtain the arithmetic series (S n ). When we add the terms of a geometric progression we obtain the geometric series (S n ). Eample If T n = n +, determine S 5. T T T T 4 T 5 S 5 = = 55 Also note: T T T T 4 T S 4 S 5 So: T 5 = S 5 S 4 = ( ) ( ) = 7 In general: T n = S n S n Eample Given that S n = n +, determine. the fifth term. T 5. T 5 = S 5 S 4 T 5 = [(5) + ] [(4) + ] T 5 = 5 5 T 5 = 8. T 5 = S 5 S 4 T 5 = [(5) + ] [(4) + ] T 5 = 5 55 T 5 = 98 The sum of an arithmetic series Find the sum of the arithmetic series We can write this as: S 0 = S 0 = Write the series backwards S 0 = Add S 0 = 0 There are 0 terms S 0 = 0 0 S 0 = = 55 5

23 It can become quite tedious to add a large number of terms. Also, the more terms we have to add, the more chance there is of making a mistake. Fortunatel, we can use the same technique we have just used to develop a formula to add all the terms in a general arithmetic series. S n = T + T + T + + T n + T n = (a) + (a + d) + (a + d) + + (a + (n )d) + (a + (n )d) Proof of the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: S n = a + ( a + d ) + ( a + d ) + + ( a + (n )d ) + ( a + (n )d ) + ( a + (n )d ) S n = (a + (n )d) + (a + (n )d) + (a + (n )d) + (a + d) + (a + d) + a S n = (a + (n )d) + (a + (n )d) + (a + (n )d) + + (a + (n )d) + (a + (n )d) S n = n(a + (n )d) Since there are n terms n(a + (n )d) S n = = n (a + (n )d) We can write the last term ( l )of an arithmetic series as l = a + (n )d. This means we can write the formula S n = n ( a + (n )d ) as S n = n ( a + a + (n )d ) Or S n = n ( a + l ) The sum of a geometric series Find the sum of the geometric series Here, a = ; r = and the number of terms is n = 8. The technique we use here is to multipl each term b the common ratio r. Therefore, we have: S 8 = S 8 = Multipl b r = S 8 S 8 = ( )S 8 = 56 S 8 = S 8 = = 55 Again, using the general form of a geometric series, we can determine a formula for the sum of n terms of a geometric series. S n = T + T + T + + T n + T n = a + ar + ar + + ar n + ar n 6

24 Proof of the formula for the sum of a geometric series: S n = a + ar + ar + + ar n + ar n r S n = ar + ar + + ar n + ar n + ar n S n rs n = a ar n S n rs n = a ar n S n ( r) = a( r n ) Factorise S n( r) ( r) = a( r n ) ( r) a( r S n = n ) ( r) r In our proof, we subtracted equation from equation. This formula is easier to use if r <. We could also have subtracted equation from equation. This would give us a a(r slightl different formula: S n = n ). This formula is easier to use if r >. (r ) The proofs for both an arithmetic series formula and a geometric series formula must be known for eam purposes. Arithmetic series For an arithmetic series, we use the following formulae: S n = n (a + (n )d ) and S n = n (a + l ) Eample Determine the sum of the series to 0 terms. a = ; d = ; n = 0; S 0 =? S n = n ( a + (n )d ) 0 S 0 = ( () + 9() ) = 0(6) = 60 Geometric series For a geometric series, we use the following formulae: a( r S n = n ) ( r) if r < a(r S n = n ) (r ) if r > Eample Use a formula to determine the sum of the series to four terms. a = 7; r = _ ; n = 4; S =? 4 a( r S n = n ) r 7( ( _ S 4 = 4 ) _ 7( 8 S 4 = ) _ 8 S 4 = 7( 8 ) 7 S 4 = 80 8 S 4 = 40 7

25 Eample Determine a = ; d = 4; n =?; T n = 59; S n =? We first need to calculate the number of terms (n) in this series before we can calculate the sum. We use the formula T n = a + (n )d to calculate the number of terms. We also know the last term (l) in the series, so we can substitute n into the formula S n = n (a + l) to calculate the sum. T n = a + (n )d S n = n_ ( a + l ) 5 59 = + (n )4 S 5 = ( + 59 ) 5 59 = + 4n 4 S 5 = ( 6 ) 60 = 4n S 5 = 465 n = 5 Eample How man terms of the series must be added to give a sum of 45? Eample Determine a = 8; r = _ ; n =?; T = n ; S =? n We first need to calculate the number of terms (n) in this series before we can calculate the sum.

54 Functions A relation is an relationship between two variables. A function is a special kind of relation in which: For ever -value, there is at most one -value. Each element of the domain is associated with onl one element of the range. In other words, the -values are never repeated in the set of ordered pairs of a function. For eample: {(; ); (; 4); (; 6)} is a function {(; ); (; ); (; 4); (; 4)} is a NOT a function, because the -coordinates are repeated. An vertical line will cut the graph of a function once and onl once. For eample: Function Not a function Not a function A function has one-to-one or man-to-one mapping. i) ii) iii) iv) One-to-one mapping function Man-to-one mapping function One-to-man mapping not a function Man-to-man mapping not a function If we list the ordered pairs for each mapping, we have: i) {( ; 5); (0; 7); (; 9)} No -coordinate is repeated, so the relation is a function. Ever -value maps onto onl one -value. In other words, neither the - nor the values are repeated. The domain is { ; 0; } and the range is {5; 7; 9}. ii) {( ; 5); ( ; 5); (0; 7); (; 7)} No -coordinate is repeated, so the relation is a function. Man -values map onto more than one -value. In other words, the -values are not repeated, but the -values are repeated. The domain is { ; ; 0; } and the range is {5; 7}. 47

55 iii) {( ; 4); ( ; 4); ( ; 6); (; 7); (; 8)} Two -coordinates are repeated, so the relation is not a function. The same -value maps onto different -values. In other words, the -values are repeated, but the -values are not repeated. The domain is { ; ; } and the range is {4; 6; 7; 8}. iv) {( ; 4); ( ; 4); ( ; 6); (; 6); (; 8)} Two - coordinates are repeated, so the relation is not a function. Man -values map onto man -values. In other words, both the - and the values are repeated. The domain is { ; ; } and the range is {4; 6; 8}. A function is increasing if the variables change in the same direction. In other words, as the -values increase, the -values increase as well. Or, as the -values decrease, the -values decrease as well. A function is decreasing if the variables change in different directions. In other words, as the values of increase, the values of decrease. Or, as the values of decrease, the values of increase.
