  2. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    Diagram illustrating three basic geometric sequences of the pattern 1(r n−1) up to 6 iterations deep.The first block is a unit block and the dashed line represents the infinite sum of the sequence, a number that it will forever approach but never touch: 2, 3/2, and 4/3 respectively.

  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 .

  5. Formula C (SCCA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_C_(SCCA)

    Formula C was an open wheeled SCCA racing class originating in the mid-1960s, derived from the failed Formula Junior class. Formula C cars were very similar to Formula Juniors; Formula B was a similar class with uprated 1600 cc engines. Formula C cars were limited to 1100 cc engines. In the SCCA today, Formula Continental is the direct ...

  6. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    In general, these series with =, =, =, and = give the expectations of "the number of trials until first success" in Bernoulli processes with "success probability" . The probabilities of each outcome follow a geometric distribution and provide the geometric sequence factors in the terms of the series, while the number of trials per outcome ...

  7. Grand Prix motor racing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_motor_racing

    A common abbreviation used for Grand Prix racing is "GP" or "GP racing". Grand Prix motor racing eventually evolved into formula racing , with Formula One considered its direct descendant. Each event of the Formula One World Championships is still called a Grand Prix ; Formula One is also referred to as "Grand Prix racing".

  8. Alternating series - Wikipedia

    In mathematics, an alternating series is an infinite series of terms that alternate between positive and negative signs. In capital-sigma notation this is expressed = or = + with a n > 0 for all n.

  9. Law of tangents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_tangents

    In trigonometry, the law of tangents or tangent rule [1] is a statement about the relationship between the tangents of two angles of a triangle and the lengths of the opposing sides. In Figure 1, a , b , and c are the lengths of the three sides of the triangle, and α , β , and γ are the angles opposite those three respective sides.
