Sequence Definition (1):- A sequence is an ordered list of objects whose terms can be expressed by general formula. i.e. The arrangement of real numbers whose term can be expressed by general formula. = 1) 1,3,5,7,9,11,......... 1 2 3 4 5 2) , , 2 3 4 5 6 2 1 n n + = , , ,........ 1 n Definition (2):- A sequence is mapping whose domain is the set of natural numbers. Domain: 1, 2, 3, 4, ..n Range a1, a2, a3, a4, .. an
Examples Write a general formula for the nth term of the following sequences 1 n 1 1 1 , 2 4 8 16 1 1 , , 2 6 24 120 1 = = , nth term a ( )1, i , , ,... n 1 n 1 2 1 1 = = , nth term a ( )1, ii , ,... n ! 2 1 4 9 16 25 , , 4 9 16 25 36 n + = = nth term a , , ,..., n 2 ( 1) n
Types of Sequences (1) Convergent Sequence (2) Divergent Sequence (3) Oscillatory Sequence (4) Monotonic Sequence (i)Monotonic increasing Sequence (ii)Monotonic decreasing Sequence (5) Bounded Sequence (i) Bounded above (ii) Bounded below
Convergent Sequence na Definition:-A Sequence is said to be convergent if Example1 1 n + = lim n a a finite number and unique n 1 2 3 , 2 3 4 n + , ,, 1 n n = a n n + n = = , lim n lim n lim n Now a n 1 n 1 n + 1 n 1 1 + = = = = lim n 1 a finite number a nd unique ( ) 1 n 1 0 + 1 n + a = , . S o is a convergent sequence n 1 n
Convergent Sequence Example 2 2 1 4 9 16 25 , , 4 9 16 25 36 n + , , ... .... 2 ( 1) n 2 n + = a n 2 ( 1) n 2 2 n + n = = , lim n lim n lim n Now a n 1 n 2 ( 1) n + 2 1 n 2 1 1 + = = = = lim n 1 a finite number and unique ( ) 1 n 1 0 + 1 2 2 n + a = , . So is a convergent sequen ce n 2 ( 1) n
Sequences Write the first 5 terms of the sequence. Does the sequence converge? If so, find the value. + + 1 n 1 n ( 1) 2 1 1 , , 3 5 1 1 , , 7 9 ( 1) 2 = = terms = = , lim n lim n 0 Now a 5 1, first ( ) i a , n n 1 n 1 n + 1 n ( 1) 2 n a The sequence is convergent and converges to 0. = n 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 , , 4 5 + 1 n terms = + 5 0, , , first 1 n ( 1) = ( ) ii a 1 , n 1 n n ( 1) lim 1 does not exist n + 1 n a The sequence diverges. = ( 1) 1 n 1 n
1 n = Write the first 5 terms for and show that the sequence is convergent. a n n 1 2 3 4 0, , , , 2 3 4 5 As a function terms = 5 First On a number line The terms in this sequence get closer and closer to 1. The sequence CONVERGES to 1.
Write the terms for an = 3 Since an = 3 is a constant. Therefore, The terms of the above sequence are 3, 3, 3, 3, . Then the sequence is convergent and converges to 3.
y= L is a horizontal asymptote when sequence converges to L.
