What is an arithmetic sequence? Give an example with your description.
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=\frac{1}{2}, r=2\)
Suppose you save $$\$ 1$$ the first day of a month, $$\$ 2$$ the second day, $$\$ 4$$ the third day, and so on. That is, each day you save twice as much as you did the day before. What will you put aside for savings on the thirtieth day of the month?
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=5000, r=1\)
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(12,6,3, \frac{3}{2}, \ldots\)
