Comparing Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Date Period For each sequence, state if it is arithmetic, geometric, or neither. They will find the common ratio in geometric sequences. They will find the common difference in arithmetic sequences. In these worksheets, students will determine if a series is arithmetic or geometric. These worksheets introduce the concepts of arithmetic and geometric series. The ratio, r, can be calculated by dividing any two consecutive terms in the sequence. Here, r is the common ratio between the consecutive terms. To find the next term in a geometric sequence, we use the following formula The common difference can be calculated by subtracting any two consecutive terms. ![]() Here, t_1 is the first term of the sequence, n is the term number that we need to find, and d is the common difference between two consecutive terms. To find the next term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the following formula In geometric sequence or series, there is a constant ratio being followed between consecutive terms. The first difference is that the arithmetic sequence follows a constant difference between consecutive terms. So, what is the difference between these two basic types of sequences and series? The most basic ones are arithmetic and geometric. There are a variety of different types of these sequences and series. The series, on the other hand, is a process of adding infinitely many numbers without a fixed order. When talking about sequence and series in mathematics, a sequence is a collection of numbers that are placed, following a specific order with repetitions allowed. Series, on the other hand, is the arrangement of similar things one after the other, without following a fixed order. By sequence, we mean a list of things that obey a specific order. We come across the terms 'sequence' and 'series' very often in our lives. Given the arithmetic sequence 1 x y QGWKHYDOXHVRI x and y. Find the value(s) of y in the geometric sequence: 25 y 1. Find the value of y in the arithmetic sequence: 25 y 16. A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers in which after the first term, consecutive ones are derived from multiplying the term before by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. to calculate the geometric mean of the geometric sequence: x y z In the geometric sequence: x y z : y 2 xz y Worked examples 1. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the interval between the consecutive terms is constant.

It's a good reason to leave the house for that big-screen spectacle that we all live for. Ideal for fans of Tom Holland and devil-may-care treasure hunts, "Uncharted" is a solid action movie with crazy stunts, beautiful locations and surprising star power. Reviewed by Mr-Fusion 4 / 10 Doesn't do the games justice, by any stretch It did well at the box office so is likely to get a sequel but I sure hope it isn't like this first outing. That is the best description of this movie, doing everything that the game and previous treasure hunting movies have done but not as great. The Uncharted franchise has always been about these over the top set-pieces but the director would rather be more interested in copying it and not doing it as well. It doesn't try to do anything original or even crazy and just plays completely safe which is just disappointing. Overall, Uncharted (2022) is a soulless cash grab that inherited none of the qualities from its source material. Due to this the movie has so many moments where the pacing just slows completely. Every scene of talking is either pointless or just saying exposition. The interactions between the characters aren't funny and lack the heart that was seen in the games. ![]() The writer just copy and pasted the typical treasure hunting plot from previous movies with slight changes and called it a day. Additionally, the story and writing feel so basic and predictable. There is also a fight scene at a Papa Johns that feels so shameless and blatant in product placement. Drake never feels like he is in any mortal danger and this could be due to the silly weightless and slapstick feel of the action. They were just visually so awesome and Drake always felt like he was in danger and could die. In the end, the characters are all underdeveloped and uninteresting.Īnother amazing aspect of the game was the action set pieces. Antonio was doing great as the villain and had clear motives but he is replaced by Tati Gabrielle who is just underwhelming and lame. Sophia gives a fine performance but her character just keeps being very dislikable and Mark is just playing himself so Sully just ends up being bland. The same can be said for Chloe and Sully played by Sophia Ali and Mark Wahlberg respectively. ![]() He also had fun quips and tend to complain about the absurdity of the situation but in this film, he is lacking in all of these qualities. Nathan was never the perfect guy in the games and was kind of an a-hole at times. His character is shown to be a thief at the beginning which fits Nathan but then afterwards he becomes a saint that won't give in to greed. However, Tom Holland just doesn't feel like Nathan Drake. I love the charming yet cold nature of his performance. Antonio Banderas was also pleasant to watch as the villain. It was also clear that Tom was giving 110% in the role. Tom Holland is a charismatic lead and it is clear he is still great at being the main lead in the film. The thing is though that the big action set piece is just ripped from the game. They are fun to watch even though they are defying physics. The biggest thing I enjoyed about this film is the action sequences. Does Uncharted continue this video game movie curse or finally break out of the mould? However, video game movies are known to be bad so I didn't have high expectations. So it isn't too surprising that it got a movie adaptation. It was like an interactive film that was inspired by films such as Indiana Jones and National Treasure. Uncharted is one of the best action-adventure video game franchises.

What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. The zenith of the castle's use as a prison was the 16th and 17th centuries, when many figures who had fallen into disgrace, such as Elizabeth I before she became queen, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Elizabeth Throckmorton, were held within its walls. Under the Tudors, the Tower became used less as a royal residence, and despite attempts to refortify and repair the castle, its defences lagged behind developments to deal with artillery. In the late 15th century, the Princes in the Tower were housed at the castle when they mysteriously disappeared, presumed murdered. This was a powerful and trusted position in the medieval period. ![]() In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower is in charge of the castle. From the early 14th century until the reign of Charles II in the 17th century, a procession would be led from the Tower to Westminster Abbey on the coronation of a monarch. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. It was besieged several times, and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under kings Richard I, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. The castle was also used as a prison from 1100 ( Ranulf Flambard) until 1952 ( Kray twins), although that was not its primary purpose. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078 and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new Norman ruling class. ![]() It was founded toward the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill.

Furthermore, the control phase often involves validating the project benefits and improving error rates. Finally, the control phase provides monitoring and maintenance of the solution. The improve phase may include solution brainstorming, evaluation, and optimization, as well as an implementation plan. The improve phase establishes ways to improve the process and correct deficits. In the analyze phase, data are examined to help identify the root cause of an issue and help remove inefficiencies. During the measure phase, further narrowing of the project focus occurs, and baseline data are collected. For example, a project may define a medical error the organization wants to address. This may include launching a team, gathering information, planning the project, and setting goals. In the define phase, problems and issues within the process are outlined from both the business and client perspectives. Six Sigma methodology, DMAIC, to improve an existing process follows the five basic steps or phases of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control to reduce errors, inefficiencies, and process variability. Each term's name is derived from the important steps in each process, but each is used for a different purpose.ĭMADV (define, measure, analyze, design, validate) is used to design a new process, product, or service. The term's name is derived from the significant steps in the process, and the last two steps vary depending on which method is used. Six Sigma consists of 2 primary improvement methodologies depending on the use case: Six Sigma DMAIC and Six Sigma DMADV. This methodology has been shown to prevent falls and injuries and decrease adverse medical events such as infection rates. Since Six Sigma can streamline procedures in healthcare, it has been shown to improve patient care by reducing costs, medical errors, and wait times. Initially introduced in 1987 at Motorola by Bill Smith, the methodology has been used in several manufacturing industries and later applied to healthcare. Six Sigma is used to identify flaws and reduce errors and discrepancies in production processes. The Six Sigma method is a strategy used in quality management and improvement. ![]() LightSpeed solves this problem with a tiered commission system whereby the more trades you make the cheaper your fees.
