Topic

Sequences

Objectives

• Identify similarities and differences between functions $f(x)$ and sequences $a_n=a(n)$
• Classify common sequential patterns such as “arithmetic” and “geometric”
• Compare and contrast recursive and closed strategies for describing functions.
• 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 ${\displaystyle \underset{n\to \mathrm{\infty }}{lim}{a}_n}$ and asymptotic behavior of functions $f(x)$.
