Follow these steps to evaluate a finite sequence defined by an explicit formula. Using a Tl-84, do the following. • In the home screen, press [2ND] LIST. • Scroll over to OPS and choose ‘seq(” from the dropdown list. Press [ENTER] • In the line headed “Expr:” type in the explicit formula, using the [X,T,,n] button for n • In the line headed ‘Variable” type In the variable used on the previous step. • In the line headed ‘start:” key in the value of n that begins the sequence. • In the line headed “end:’ key in the value of n that ends the sequence. • Press [ENTER] 3 times to return to the home screen. You will see the sequence syntax on the screen. Press [ENTER] to see the list of terms for the finite sequence defined. Use the right arrow key to scroll through the list of terms.
