: I want to first of all express my gratitude to everyone who has helped me with all my problems:) This site is so awesome and honestly I would be failing at this moment if it weren't for the assistance from you guys!!! I am sincerely grateful from the bottom of my heart...you guys are great when it comes to doing math and I thank you soooooo much:)I am in my last week of this course my hat is off to you guys!! Thank you so much:) GOD bless you all!!
Using the index of a sequence as the domain and the value of the sequence as the range, is a sequence a function?
Include the following in your answer:
Which one of the basic functions (linear, quadratic, rational, or exponential) is related to the arithmetic sequence?
Which one of the basic functions (linear, quadratic, rational, or exponential) is related to the geometric sequence?

Give at least two real-life examples of a sequences or series. One example should be arithmetic, and the second should be geometric. Explain how these examples would affect you personally.
Have a great weekend!!!

Yes
------------------
Include the following in your answer:
Which one of the basic functions (linear, quadratic, rational, or exponential) is related to the arithmetic sequence?
arithmetic is linear because a(n)=d(n-1)+a(1). d is the slope and a(1) is the
y-intercept.
----------------
Which one of the basic functions (linear, quadratic, rational, or exponential) is related to the geometric sequence?
geometric is exponential because a(n)=(a(1))r^(n-1)
---------------
Give at least two real-life examples of a sequences or series.
One example should be arithmetic:
You deposit $100 in a piggy bank and add $10 dollars each week.
Your savings is an arithmetic sequence where a(1)=100 and d=10.
-----------
the second should be geometric:
You deposit $100 in a bank and receive the money compounded at
8% annual interest applied yearly.
The value of your savings is a geometric sequence where a(1)=$100
and r=1.08
