You’ll learn

  • Find the general term of an arithmetic sequence with Tₙ = a + (n−1)d from page 22
  • Find sums with Sₙ = (n/2)(2a + (n−1)d) and evaluate specific terms like T₅₀ or T₁₀₀
  • Solve 'smallest n for which Sₙ < k' by setting Sₙ = k, solving, then rounding
  • Recover terms from a given Sₙ using T₁ = S₁ and Tₖ = Sₖ − Sₖ₋₁
