What is an independent variable?

Back

An independent variable is a variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.

Front

Define a sequence in mathematics.

Back

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that follow a particular pattern or rule.

Front

What is the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

Front

What is a geometric sequence?

Back

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Front

What is the common ratio in a geometric sequence?

Back

The common ratio is the factor by which we multiply each term to get the next term in a geometric sequence.

Front

What does the term 'distributive property' mean?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a factor across a sum.
