Sequences and series (P2)
2.4What the syllabus asks of you
- Sequences, including those given by a formula for the nth term and those generated by a simple relation of the form xn + 1 = f(xn).
- Understand and work with arithmetic sequences and series, including the formula for the nth term and the sum of a finite arithmetic series; the sum of the first n natural numbers.
- Increasing sequences, decreasing sequences and periodic sequences.
- Understand and work with geometric sequences and series, including the formulae for the nth term and the sum of a finite geometric series; the sum to infinity of a convergent geometric series, including the use of |r| < 1.
- Binomial expansion of (a + bx)n for positive integer n.
