Transcript 12.5 Sigma Notation and the nth term
*
By the end of the section students will be able to expand a summation given in
sigma notation, determine the sum of an arithmetic series using sigma notation
and determine the number of terms in a arithmetic sequence for a given sum as
evidenced by completion of an exit slip.
Assignment #45
No book assignment,
instead it is a
worksheet.
By the end of the section students will be able to expand a summation given in sigma notation, determine the sum of an
arithmetic series using sigma notation and determine the number of terms in a arithmetic sequence for a given sum as evidenced
by completion of an exit slip.
* Capitol Greek letter sigma Ξ£
* Sigma represents a Summation
* The bottom it the start value, lower bound of summation
* The top is the end value, upper bound of summation
* The letter used in the lower bound of summation is called
the index of summation
