Negative Differences

Math problems often include negative differences. Familiarity with ways of manipulating them will help to both avoid common errors and recognize equivalent expressions.

Geometric Sequences and Geometric Series

How to recognize, create, and describe a geometric sequence (also called a geometric progression) using closed and recursive definitions. Formulas for calculating the Nth term, the sum of the first N terms, and the sum of an infinite number of terms are derived. Also describes approaches to solving problems based on Geometric Sequences and Series.

Arithmetic Sequences and Arithmetic Series

How to recognize, create, and describe an arithmetic sequence (also called an arithmetic progression) using closed and recursive definitions. Formulas for calculating the Nth term, and the sum of the first N terms are derived. Also describes approaches to solving problems based on arithmetic sequences and series.

Linear Systems: Why Does Linear Combination Work (Graphically)?

A system of linear equations consists of multiple linear equations. You can think of this as multiple lines graphed on one coordinate plane. Three situations can arise when looking at such a graph. Either:1) No point(s) are shared by all lines shown2) There is one point that all lines cross through3) The lines lie on top…… Continue reading Linear Systems: Why Does Linear Combination Work (Graphically)?
