Page 8 - Hence, the first term, ratio, and number of terms being given, to find the sum of the series, RULE. Raise the ratio to a power whose index is one less than the number of terms, from which subtract 1, and divide the remainder by the ratio less 1 ; the quotient is the sum of a series with 1 for the first term; then multiply this quotient by the first term of any required series ; the product will be its amount.
Page 5 - If we have four numbers, 2, 4, 8, and 10, of which the difference between the first and second is equal to the difference between the third and fourth, these numbers are said to be in arithmetical proportion. The first term 2 is called an antecedent, and the second term 4, with which it is compared, a consequent. The number 8 is also called an antecedent, and the number 10, with which it is compared, a consequent.
