Arithmetic and geometric progressions

Download Arithmetic and geometric progressions PDF file.
This unit introduces sequences and series, and gives some simple examples of each. It also
explores particular types of sequence known as arithmetic progressions (APs) and geometric
progressions (GPs), and the corresponding series.
In order to master the techniques explained here it is vital that you undertake plenty of practice
exercises so that they become second nature.
After reading this text, and/or viewing the video tutorial on this topic, you should be able to:
• recognise the difference between a sequence and a series;
• recognise an arithmetic progression;
• find the n-th term of an arithmetic progression;
• find the sum of an arithmetic series;
• recognise a geometric progression;
• find the n-th term of a geometric progression;
• find the sum of a geometric series;
• find the sum to infinity of a geometric series with common ratio |r| < 1.

US Has Contributed $495m For Malaria Control In Nigeria Since 2011 – Symington

US Has Contributed $495m For Malaria Control In Nigeria Since 2011 – Symington The United States says it has contributed $495m for malaria control in Nigeria since 2011. This is according to a statement by the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington. Symington made this disclosure in a piece, titled ‘US salutes health champions in Nigeria leading efforts to end malaria’, to commemorate the World Malaria Day. The US envoy said, “On World Malaria Day, the United States is proud to recognize our partnership with Nigeria and support your fight to beat this deadly disease. We salute all Nigeria’s health champions—from health workers to mothers, pharmacists to drivers, journalists to researchers, teachers to warehouse managers—and all those working to end malaria. “As a global community, we have achieved remarkable success.

Factors to look after while using a cylinder gas

ere have been many cases of gas cylinder explosions and when this happens, lives are lost and properties worth millions are destroyed. However, there are so many danger signs we need to look out for while using a Gas cylinder some of these factors are: Cooking gas cylinders must not exceed five years: most people using gas cylinders hardly remember when it was bought. It is important to keep track of the days and replace them as soon as possible. Do not buy used Gas cylinders. Watch out for the expiry dates: The steps to check the expiry date are very simple and basic. The expiry of LPG cylinder can be found on one of the metal strips that connect the body of the cylinder to top ring (handle). It is mentioned on the inner side of the strip. The strip has any of the alphabets from A to D painted on it along with a number. Decoding the expiry date is simple. The alphabet represents the month it expires while the number indi...
