🔢 Arithmetic Sequences: The Straight Line of Patterns
Did you know that an arithmetic sequence is essentially a special kind of linear function? Understanding this connection can make solving sequence problems much easier.
An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where the difference between consecutive terms remains constant. This constant difference is known as the common difference, represented by d.
Key Takeaway
Always remember that an arithmetic sequence follows the rules of a linear equation. If you can master the concepts of slope and a starting point, you can master sequences!
