  2. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3.

  3. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  4. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    The nth element of an arithmetico-geometric sequence is the product of the nth element of an arithmetic sequence and the nth element of a geometric sequence. [1] 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth-term_test

    The more general class of p-series, =, exemplifies the possible results of the test: If p ≤ 0, then the nth-term test identifies the series as divergent. If 0 < p ≤ 1, then the nth-term test is inconclusive, but the series is divergent by the integral test for convergence.

  7. Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_(mathematics)

    An arithmetico-geometric series is a series that has terms which are each the product of an element of an arithmetic progression with the corresponding element of a geometric progression. Example: 3 + 5 2 + 7 4 + 9 8 + 11 16 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( 3 + 2 n ) 2 n . {\displaystyle 3+{5 \over 2}+{7 \over 4}+{9 \over 8}+{11 \over 16}+\cdots =\sum ...
