Formula: Arithmetic: a_n = a1 + (n-1)*d, S_n = n*(a1 + a_n)/2. Geometric: a_n = a1 * r^(n-1), S_n = a1*(r^n - 1)/(r - 1).

In-Depth Guide & Mathematical Methodology

🔢 Arithmetic vs Geometric Sequences

Arithmetic Sequence: Each term is obtained by adding a constant difference d to the previous term (e.g. 2, 5, 8, 11...).

Geometric Sequence: Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant ratio r (e.g. 3, 6, 12, 24...).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the Number Sequence Calculator (Arithmetic & Geometric) and how does it work?

Algebra and series calculator. For Arithmetic Progression computes $a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d$ and $S_n$. For Geometric Progression computes $a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}$ and $S_n$.

How do I use this Number Sequence Calculator (Arithmetic & Geometric)?

Select Progression Type (Arithmetic vs Geometric). Enter First Term ($a_1$). Enter Common Difference ($d$) or Ratio ($r$). Enter number of terms ($n$). View nth term $a_n$ and series sum $S_n$.

What mathematical formula is used in this calculation?

Arithmetic: a_n = a1 + (n-1)*d, S_n = n*(a1 + a_n)/2. Geometric: a_n = a1 * r^(n-1), S_n = a1*(r^n - 1)/(r - 1).
