Recall from last time:
A sequence is called ARITHMETIC (additive) if the next term can be gotten from the previous one by always adding the same amount , called "the common difference" or the increment.
Then the n-th term is: where n-1 is the number of times the common difference is added.
For instance:
If are invested at a rate of
in simple interest, then the
interest is always
The balances then form an arithmetic sequence with
, and common difference
and the balance after the interest is applied t times is:
Ex: Suppose you invest $800 at an annual simple interest rate of 7%.
Then each year you earn
This is the common difference.
Your balance in year n (after n-1 years) is the principal $800, plus the interest $56 added n-1 times:
...etc... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.2: Geometric Sequences
A sequence is called GEOMETRIC (multiplicative) if the next term can be gotten from the previous one by always MULTIPLIED by the same amount , called "the common ratio" (or the multiplier) Ex: 5, 10, 20, 40, ...
Then the n-th term is: where n-1 is the number of times the common ratio is multiplied (number of steps).
Application:
If are invested at a rate of
in COMPOUND interest, then the interest is applied to the entire balance.
The balances then form an geometric sequence with common ratio
and the balance after the interest is compounded n times is:
Ex: Suppose you invest $800 at an interest rate of 7%, compounded annually. Then the common ratio is: Your balance in year n (after n-1 years) is:
...etc...
