Chapter One Basics

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers.

A sequence is defined recursively if the first term is given and there is a method of determining the nth term by using the terms that precede it.

A sequence is defined explicitly if terms are determined by their position.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between each term and the preceding term is a constant.

Recursive form: Un=Un-1+d

Explicit form: Un=U1+ (n-1)d

Parallel Lines have equal slopes.

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

The difference between an actual data value and a predicted data value is called a residual.

The correlation coefficent has the same sign as the slop of the least squares regression line.

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which terms are found by multiplying a preceding term by a nonzero constant r.
