A rule that gives a term directly from its position number, usually represented by .
Revise: Generating SequencesA position-to-term rule is especially efficient for a distant term. A term-to-term rule can make the way the sequence grows easier to see, but it may require many repeated steps.
- Revise: Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions
A rule that gives a term directly from its position number, without generating all the earlier terms.
