Progression or sequence is a set of
ordered numbers that follows trend. The
more common sequences include
arithmetic, geometric and Fibonacci
sequences

Arithmetic sequence is a set of ordered
numbers in which difference of two
adjacent terms is constant(common
difference)

Example1:
2,4,6,8,10
First term : 2
Last term: 10
Common difference :2
You can find sum by adding the terms of
the sequence.
** create an equation for the sequence

Geometric sequence on the other hand
is a sequence of numbers in which the
ratio of adjacent terms is constant
(common ratio).
Example2:

**In example 1, the general equation of the
sequence is LINEAR while in example 2, the
general equation is EXPONENTIAL. This is
TRUE for ALL arithmetic and geometric
sequence.
Therefore,
the general equation for ALL Arithmetic
Sequences is;

How to solve for the area bounded by 3
points?
The solution in getting the area bounded
by 3 points on a plane can be done in
two steps. First, get the distances of the
points and second, solve the area by
applying the geometric equation.
However, doing so will take long time.
In solving such, using method of
determinants with the help of a
calculator will take a much lesser time. If
you are give point A, (X1,Y1), point
B(X2,Y2) and point C(X3,Y3). The area
bounded by them can be solved using
this equation, A=1/2 d; where A=area
bounded by point A,B, and C &
d=determinant of Matrix A.
