About the Sequence aplet
The Sequence aplet allows you to explore sequences.
You can define a sequence named, for example, U1:
in terms of n
in terms of U1(n–1)
•in terms of U1(n–2)
in terms of another sequence, for example, U2(n)
in any combination of the above.
The Sequence aplet allows you to create two types of
graphs:
A Stairsteps graph plots n on the horizontal
axis and U
n
on the vertical axis.
A Cobweb graph plots U
n–1
on the horizontal
axis and U
n
on the vertical axis.
