Topic

Sequences

Objectives

• Classify common sequential patterns such as “arithmetic” and “geometric”
• Compare and contrast recursive and closed strategies for describing functions.
• Identify similarities and differences between functions \(f(x)\) and sequences \(a_n = a(n)\)
• Interpret the graphs of sequences to distinguish characteristics:
  • monotone increasing, monotone decreasing, or neither
  • bounded or unbounded
  • convergent or divergent
• Compare and contrast limits of sequences \(\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty}\,a_n\) and asymptotic behavior of functions \(f(x)\).
