Finite differences 2003-02-10
Jenny pose la question :

I need to find a formula that will work with any number.
I am finding the volume of a 3d cross- shape. Here are my results so far:

Term Number      0   1    2    3     4      5
nth term         1    7   25   63   129    231
1rst diff           6   18   38   66     102
2nd diff              12    20   28   36
3rd diff                  8     8    8

I can't seem to find a formula that will work with any number. Any help would be much appreciated.

Arithmetic sequences 2001-09-10
Rachel pose la question :
I can't seem to figure out a problem that deals with arithmetic sequencing. This is the question: The 5th term in an arithmetic sequence is 1/2, and the 20th term is 7/8. Find the first three terms of the sequence. I attempted this problem with the formula: An = a + (n-1)d (where the n represents the nth term, a is the first term, and d represents the common difference) I keep getting -9.5 for the first number, and then 3/120 as the common difference between the numbers. But as I have figured it, the sequence is getting greater and greater, and my data does not go with the terms given.

Geometric and arithmetic sequences 2001-01-26
Garry pose la question :
what are the equations for geometric and arithmetic sequences?

also, what are the equations for finding the sums of those series?
