Infinite Sequences
An infinite sequence (or simply sequence) is a function whose domainis the set of positive integers.
Example: an = 3n+ 1
term number 1 2 3 4 5 n
term value 4 7 10 13 16 3n+ 1
This sequence is said to be explicitly defined.

Arithmetic Sequences
A sequence a1, a2, a3, ..., an, ... is an arithmetic sequence if each termafter the first is obtained by adding the same fixed number d to thepreceding term.
an+1 = an + d
The number d = an+1 − an is called the common difference of thesequence.
