| ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE | A SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS WHERE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSECUTIVE TERMS IS CONSTANT |
| COMMON DIFFERENCE | THE TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE CONSTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSECUTIVE TERMS IN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCES |
| GEOMETRIC SEQUENCES | A SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS WHERE THE RATIO OF CONSECUTIVE TERMS IS CONSTANT |
| COMMON RATIO | THE TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE CONSTANT RATIO OF CONSECUTIVE TERMS IN A GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS |
| SCIENTIFIC NOTATION | A METHOD OF EXPRESSING NUMBERS IN TERMS OF A DECIMAL NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 10 MULTIPLIED BY A POWER OF 10 . THE SCIENTIFIC NOTATION FOR 10,492, FOR EXAMPLE , IS 1.0492 × 10 |
