An arithmetico-geometric series is a sum of terms that are the elements of an arithmetico-geometric sequence. Arithmetico-geometric sequences and series arise in various applications, such as the computation of expected values in probability theory , especially in Bernoulli processes .
For example, consider the sum: + + + + = This sum can be found quickly by taking the number n of terms being added (here 5), multiplying by the sum of the first and last number in the progression (here 2 + 14 = 16), and dividing by 2: (+)
In mathematics, a geometric series is a series summing the terms of an infinite geometric sequence, in which the ratio of consecutive terms is constant.For example, the series + + + is a geometric series with common ratio , which converges to the sum of .
Examples of a geometric sequence are powers r k of a fixed non-zero number r, such as 2 k and 3 k. The general form of a geometric sequence is , , , , , … where r is the common ratio and a is the initial value. The sum of a geometric progression's terms is called a geometric series.
In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.
Here is a list of the 15 states set to host new Target locations, according to the store's website. Target did not specify when the stores would be opening when asked by USA TODAY.
n are the binomial coefficients of power −1 − α. Then the (C, α) sum of Σa n is defined as above. If Σa n has a (C, α) sum, then it also has a (C, β) sum for every β > α, and the sums agree; furthermore we have a n = o(n α) if α > −1 (see little-o notation).
HuffPost looked at how killers got their guns for the 10 deadliest mass shootings over the past 10 years. To come up with the list, we used Mother Jones’ database, which defines mass shootings as “indiscriminate rampages in public places” that kill three or more people.
