Infinite Sequences Infinite Sequences qq
Definition
Sequences or infinite sequence is a function whose
domain is the set of positive integers.
Notation: f : N R
n f(n ) = a

n f(n ) = a
n
This function is also sequence of real number. We
denote a sequence by a
1
, a
2
, a
3
, ...., by or
simply {a } with a is the nth term
{ }

=0 n
n
a
simply {a
n
} with a
n
is the nth term.
Formula of sequence:
1. An explicit formula for the nth term
2. The first few terms of the sequence
3. A recursion formula
a =
1
