3.3.8 Sequences and series (A-level only)

Which sequence model suits a quantity changing by the same amount each period?

A

£6,020

B

Pn=800(1.15)nP_n=800(1.15)^nPn​=800(1.15)n

C

The arithmetic series sum is Sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)S_n=\frac{n}{2}\left(2a+(n-1)d\right)Sn​=2n​(2a+(n−1)d). For r≠1r\neq1r=1, the geometric series sum is Sn=a(1−rn)1−r\boxed{S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}}Sn​=1−ra(1−rn)​​.

D

An arithmetic sequence.
