1. Généralités sur les suites numériques

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Exemples: Soit ()∈ℕ la suite définie par = 2 − 3.
  • Suite numérique: A function defined from the set of natural numbers ℕ (or a subset of ℕ) to the real numbers ℝ.
  • Suites numériques: Multiple functions each defined from ℕ (or a subset of ℕ) to ℝ, representing several numerical sequences.
  • Suites arithmétiques: Suites arithmétiques et suites géométriques a) Suites arithmétiques
  • Une suite ()∈ℕ est dite arithmétique s'il existe un réel ) tel que tout ∈ ℕ, = + ).

Essential Points

  • Le terme général d'une suite est noté u_n et représente le n-ième terme de la suite.
  • Une suite numérique est une fonction définie sur ℕ à valeurs dans ℝ.
