A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that can be either finite or infinite in number. When a finite sequence is defined by a formula, its domain is a subset of the non-negative integers. When an infinite sequence is defined by a formula, its domain is all positive or all non-negative integers. 3. Yes, both sets go on indefinitely, so they are both infinite sequences. 5. A factorial is the product of a positive integer and all the positive integers below it. An exclamation point is used to indicate the operation. Answers may vary. An example of the benefit of using factorial notation is when indicating the product It is much easier to write than it is to write out $13⋅12⋅11⋅10⋅9⋅8⋅7⋅6⋅5⋅4⋅3⋅2⋅1. 13⋅12⋅11⋅10⋅9⋅8⋅7⋅6⋅5⋅4⋅3⋅2⋅1.$ 7.

If $a n =−421 a n =−421$ is a term in the sequence, then solving the equation $−421=−6−8n −421=−6−8n$ for $n n$ will yield a non-negative integer. However, if $−421=−6−8n, −421=−6−8n,$ then $n=51.875 n=51.875$ so $a n =−421 a n =−421$ is not a term in the sequence. 69. $a 1 =1, a 2 =0, a n = a n−1 − a n−2 a 1 =1, a 2 =0, a n = a n−1 − a n−2$ 71. $(n+2)!

A sequence where each successive term of the sequence increases (or decreases) by a constant value. 3. We find whether the difference between all consecutive terms is the same. This is the same as saying that the sequence has a common difference. 5. Both arithmetic sequences and linear functions have a constant rate of change. They are different because their domains are not the same; linear functions are defined for all real numbers, and arithmetic sequences are defined for natural numbers or a subset of the natural numbers. 7. The common difference is $1 2 1 2$ 9. The sequence is not arithmetic because $16−4≠64−16. 16−4≠64−16.$ 11. $0, 2 3 , 4 3 ,2, 8 3 0, 2 3 , 4 3 ,2, 8 3$ 13. $0 , − 5 , − 10 , − 15 , − 20 0 , − 5 , − 10 , − 15 , − 20$ 15. $a 4 =19 a 4 =19$ 17. $a 6 =41 a 6 =41$ 19. $a 1 =2 a 1 =2$ 21. $a 1 =5 a 1 =5$ 23. $a 1 =6 a 1 =6$ 25. $a 21 =−13.5 a 21 =−13.5$ 27. $−19,−20.4,−21.8,−23.2,−24.6 −19,−20.4,−21.8,−23.2,−24.6$ 29. 31. 33. 35. 37. 39. $a 1 =4; a n = a n−1 +7; a 14 =95 a 1 =4; a n = a n−1 +7; a 14 =95$ 41.

A sequence in which the ratio between any two consecutive terms is constant. 3. Divide each term in a sequence by the preceding term. If the resulting quotients are equal, then the sequence is geometric. 5. Both geometric sequences and exponential functions have a constant ratio. However, their domains are not the same. Exponential functions are defined for all real numbers, and geometric sequences are defined only for positive integers. Another difference is that the base of a geometric sequence (the common ratio) can be negative, but the base of an exponential function must be positive. 7. The common ratio is $−2 −2$ 9. The sequence is geometric. The common ratio is 2. 11. The sequence is geometric. The common ratio is $− 1 2 . − 1 2 .$ 13. The sequence is geometric.

A binomial coefficient is an alternative way of denoting the combination $C(n,r). C(n,r).$ It is defined as $( n r )=C(n,r)= n! r!(n−r)! . ( n r )=C(n,r)= n! r!(n−r)! .$

3.

The Binomial Theorem is defined as $(x+y) n = ∑ k=0 n ( n k ) x n−k y k (x+y) n = ∑ k=0 n ( n k ) x n−k y k$ and can be used to expand any binomial.

1.

probability; The probability of an event is restricted to values between $0 0$ and $1, 1,$ inclusive of $0 0$ and $1. 1.$

3.

An experiment is an activity with an observable result.

5.

The probability of the union of two events occurring is a number that describes the likelihood that at least one of the events from a probability model occurs. In both a union of sets and a union of events the union includes either or both. The difference is that a union of sets results in another set, while the union of events is a probability, so it is always a numerical value between $0 0$ and $1. 1.$
