1 466 6 SEQUENCES, SERIES, AND PROBABILITY Section 6- Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences nth-term Formulas Sum Formulas for Finite Arithmetic Series Sum Formulas for Finite Geometric Series Sum Formula for Infinite Geometric Series For most sequences it is difficult to sum an arbitrary number of terms of the sequence without adding term by term. But particular types of sequences, arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences, have certain properties that lead to convenient and useful formulas for the sums of the corresponding arithmetic series and geometric series. Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences The sequence 5, 7, 9,,,..., 5 (n ),..., where each term after the first is obtained by adding to the preceding term, is an example of an arithmetic sequence. The sequence 5, 0, 0, 40, 80,..., 5 () n,..., where each term after the first is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by, is an example of a geometric sequence. DEFINITION ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE A sequence a, a, a,..., a n,... is called an arithmetic sequence, or arithmetic progression, if there exists a constant d, called the common difference, such that a n a n d That is, a n a n d for every n DEFINITION GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE A sequence a, a, a,..., a n,... is called a geometric sequence, or geometric progression, if there exists a nonzero constant r, called the common ratio, such that

(D) 0, 8.5, 7, 5.5,... (A) Since 5, there is no common difference, so the sequence is not an arithmetic sequence. Since, there is no common ratio, so the sequence is not geometric either.

3 468 6 SEQUENCES, SERIES, AND PROBABILITY This suggests Theorem, which can be proved by mathematical induction (see Problem 6 in Exercise 6-). THEOREM THE nth TERM OF AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE a n a (n )d for every n Similarly, if {a n } is a geometric sequence with common ratio r, then a a r a a r a r a 4 a r a r This suggests Theorem, which can also be proved by mathematical induction (see Problem 69 in Exercise 6-).

(B) Find the eighth term of the geometric sequence 64,, 6,.... Sum Formulas for Finite Arithmetic Series If a, a, a,..., a n is a finite arithmetic sequence, then the corresponding series a a a... a n is called an arithmetic series. We will derive two simple and very useful formulas for the sum of an arithmetic series. Let d be the common difference of the arithmetic sequence a, a, a,..., a n and let S n denote the sum of the series a a a... a n. Then S n a (a d)... [a (n )d] [a (n )d] Reversing the order of the sum, we obtain S n [a (n )d] [a (n )d]... (a d) a Adding the left sides of these two equations and corresponding elements of the right sides, we see that S n [a (n )d] [a (n )d]... [a (n )d] n[a (n )d] This can be restated as in Theorem. THEOREM SUM OF AN ARITHMETIC SERIES FIRST FORM S n n [a (n )d] By replacing a (n )d with a n, we obtain a second useful formula for the sum. THEOREM 4 SUM OF AN ARITHMETIC SERIES SECOND FORM n S n (a a n )
5 470 6 SEQUENCES, SERIES, AND PROBABILITY The proof of the first sum formula by mathematical induction is left as an exercise (see Problem 64 in Exercise 6-). Finding the Sum of an Arithmetic Series Find the sum of the first 6 terms of an arithmetic series if the first term is 7 and d. Solution Let n 6, a 7, d, and use Theorem. n S n [a (n )d] 6 S 6 [( 7) (6 )] 79 Find the sum of the first 5 terms of an arithmetic series if the first term is and d. 4 Finding the Sum of an Arithmetic Series Find the sum of all the odd numbers between 5 and 99, inclusive. Solution First, use a 5, a n 99, and Now use Theorem 4 to find S 5 : Theorem to find n: a n a (n )d n S n (a a n ) 99 5 (n ) 5 S 5 (5 99) n 5,875 4 Find the sum of all the even numbers between and 5, inclusive. 5 Prize Money A 6-team bowling league has $8,000 to be awarded as prize money. If the last-place team is awarded $75 in prize money and the award increases by the same amount for each successive finishing place, how much will the firstplace team receive?
6 6- Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences 47 Solution If a is the award for the first-place team, a is the award for the second-place team, and so on, then the prize money awards form an arithmetic sequence with n 6, a 6 75, and S 6 8,000. Use Theorem 4 to find a. n S n (a a n ) 6 8,000 (a 75) a 75 Thus, the first-place team receives $75. 5 Refer to Example 5. How much prize money is awarded to the second-place team? Sum Formulas for Finite Geometric Series If a, a, a,..., a n is a finite geometric sequence, then the corresponding series a a a... a n is called a geometric series. As with arithmetic series, we can derive two simple and very useful formulas for the sum of a geometric series. Let r be the common ratio of the geometric sequence a, a, a,..., a n and let S n denote the sum of the series a a a... a n. Then S n a a r a r a r... a r n a r n Multiply both sides of this equation by r to obtain rs n a r a r a r... a r n a r n Now subtract the left side of the second equation from the left side of the first, and the right side of the second equation from the right side of the first to obtain S n rs n a a r n S n ( r) a a r n Thus, solving for S n, we obtain the following formula for the sum of a geometric series: THEOREM 5 SUM OF A GEOMETRIC SERIES FIRST FORM a a r n S n r r
7 47 6 SEQUENCES, SERIES, AND PROBABILITY Since a n a r n, or ra n a r n, the sum formula also can be written in the following form: THEOREM 6 SUM OF A GEOMETRIC SERIES SECOND FORM a ra n S n r r The proof of the first sum formula (Theorem 5) by mathematical induction is left as an exercise (see Problem 70, Exercise 6-). If r, then S n a a () a ( )... a ( n ) na 6 Finding the Sum of a Geometric Series Find the sum of the first 0 terms of a geometric series if the first term is and r. Solution Let n 0, a, r, and use Theorem 5. S n a a r n r 0,048,575 Calculation using a calculator 6 Find the sum, to two decimal places, of the first 4 terms of a geometric series if the first term is and r. 64 Sum Formula for Infinite Geometric Series Consider a geometric series with a 5 and r. What happens to the sum S n as n increases? To answer this question, we first write the sum formula in the more convenient form S n a a r n r a r a r n r () For a 5 and r, S n 0 0 n
8 6- Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences 47 Thus, S S S 0 0 0,04 S 0 0 0,048,576 It appears that becomes smaller and smaller as n increases and that the sum gets closer and closer to 0. In general, it is possible to show that, if r, then r n will get closer and closer to 0 as n increases. Symbolically, r n 0 as n. Thus, the term a r n r ( )n in equation () will tend to 0 as n increases, and S n will tend to a r In other words, if a r r, then S n can be made as close to as we wish by taking n sufficiently large. Thus, we define the sum of an infinite geometric series by the following formula: DEFINITION SUM OF AN INFINITE GEOMETRIC SERIES S a r r If r, an infinite geometric series has no sum. 7 Expressing a Repeating Decimal as a Fraction Represent the repeating decimal as the quotient of two integers. Recall that a repeating decimal names a rational number and that any rational number can be represented as the quotient of two integers.
9 474 6 SEQUENCES, SERIES, AND PROBABILITY Solution The right side of the equation is an infinite geometric series with a 0.45 and r 0.0. Thus, S a r Hence, 0.45 and name the same rational number. Check the result by dividing 5 by. 7 Repeat Example 7 for Solution Economy Stimulation A state government uses proceeds from a lottery to provide a tax rebate for property owners. Suppose an individual receives a $500 rebate and spends 80% of this, and each of the recipients of the money spent by this individual also spends 80% of what he or she receives, and this process continues without end. According to the multiplier doctrine in economics, the effect of the original $500 tax rebate on the economy is multiplied many times. What is the total amount spent if the process continues as indicated? The individual receives $500 and spends 0.8(500) $400. The recipients of this $400 spend 0.8(400) $0, the recipients of this $0 spend 0.8(0) $56, and so on. Thus, the total spending generated by the $500 rebate is (400) (0.8) (400)... which we recognize as an infinite geometric series with a 400 and r 0.8. Thus, the total amount spent is S a r $,000 8 Repeat Example 8 if the tax rebate is $,000 and the percentage spent by all recipients is 90%.

If we assume that each individual or agency spends 0.8 of what is received, and 0.8 of this is spent, and so on, how much total increase in spending results from this government action? 76. Economics. Due to reduced taxes, an individual has an extra $600 in spendable income. If we assume that the individual spends 70% of this on consumer goods, that the producers of these goods in turn spend 70% of what they receive on consumer goods, and that this process continues indefinitely, what is the total amount spent on consumer goods? 77.

If there are 0 years in a generation, how many direct ancestors did each of us have 600 years ago? By direct ancestors we mean parents, grandparents, greatgrandparents, and so on. 85. Physics. An object falling from rest in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth falls 6 feet during the first second, 48 feet during the second second, 80 feet during the third second, and so on.

One leukemic cell injected into a healthy mouse will divide into two cells in about day. At the end of the day these two cells will divide again, with the doubling process continuing each day until there are billion cells, at which time the mouse dies. On which day after the experiment is started does this happen? 89. Astronomy. Ever since the time of the Greek astronomer Hipparchus, second century B.C., the brightness of stars has been measured in terms of magnitude. The brightest stars, excluding the sun, are classed as magnitude, and the dimmest visible to the eye are classed as magnitude 6. In 856, the English astronomer N. R. Pogson showed that first-magnitude stars are 00 times brighter than sixthmagnitude stars. If the ratio of brightness between consecutive magnitudes is constant, find this ratio. [Hint: If b n is the brightness of an nth-magnitude star, find r for the geometric progression b, b, b,..., given b 00b 6.] 90. Music.

If a sheet of very thin paper 0.00 inch thick is torn in half, and each half is again torn in half, and this process is repeated for a total of times, how high will the stack of paper be if the pieces are placed one on top of the other? Give the answer to the nearest mile. 9. Atmospheric Pressure. If atmospheric pressure decreases roughly by a factor of 0 for each 0-mile increase in altitude up to 60 miles, and if the pressure is 5 pounds per square inch at sea level, what will the pressure be 40 miles up? 94. Zeno s Paradox. Visualize a hypothetical 440-yard oval racetrack that has tapes stretched across the track at the halfway point and at each point that marks the halfway point of each remaining distance thereafter. A runner running around the track has to break the first tape before the second, the second before the third, and so on. From this point of view it appears that he will never finish the race. This famous paradox is attributed to the Greek philosopher Zeno ( B.C.). If we assume the runner runs at 440 yards per minute, the times between tape breakings form an infinite geometric progression. What is the sum of this progression? 95. Geometry. If the midpoints of the sides of an equilateral triangle are joined by straight lines, the new figure will be an equilateral triangle with a perimeter equal to half the original.
