Info About Introduction to Sequences

A sequence lists numbers in a clear order. For example, even numbers might form 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. This concept helps reveal how values change in equations and in nature.

An arithmetic sequence adds the same gap each time. The pattern shows 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. Each jump adds two.

A geometric sequence multiplies by the same factor each time. The list 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 doubles at every step. People spot this pattern in population counts. Analysts shape investment forecasts around the same idea. Mathematicians use sequences to explore limits and study how functions behave.
