Figure 5.1 The Koch snowflake is constructed by using an iterative process. Starting with an equilateral triangle, at each step
of the process the middle third of each line segment is removed and replaced with an equilateral triangle pointing outward.

Introduction
The Koch snowflake is constructed from an infinite number of nonoverlapping equilateral triangles. Consequently, we can
express its area as a sum of infinitely many terms. How do we add an infinite number of terms? Can a sum of an infinite
number of terms be finite? To answer these questions, we need to introduce the concept of an infinite series, a sum with
infinitely many terms. Having defined the necessary tools, we will be able to calculate the area of the Koch snowflake (see
Example 5.8).
The topic of infinite series may seem unrelated to differential and integral calculus. In fact, an infinite series whose terms
involve powers of a variable is a powerful tool that we can use to express functions as “infinite polynomials.” We can
use infinite series to evaluate complicated functions, approximate definite integrals, and create new functions. In addition,
infinite series are used to solve differential equations that model physical behavior, from tiny electronic circuits to Earth-
orbiting satellites.
Definition
An infinite sequence {a,,} is an ordered list of numbers of the form
Ay, AQ,---, Any...
The subscript 7 is called the index variable of the sequence. Each number a,, is a term of the sequence. Sometimes
sequences are defined by explicit formulas, in which case a, = f(n) for some function f(n) defined over the
positive integers. In other cases, sequences are defined by using a recurrence relation. In a recurrence relation, one
term (or more) of the sequence is given explicitly, and subsequent terms are defined in terms of earlier terms in the
sequence.

Finding Explicit Formulas
For each of the following sequences, find an explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence.
4’ 7 10’ 13’ 16°"
Solution
a. First, note that the sequence is alternating from negative to positive. The odd terms in the sequence are
negative, and the even terms are positive. Therefore, the nth term includes a factor of (—1)”. Next,
consider the sequence of numerators {1, 2, 3,...} and the sequence of denominators {2, 3, 4,...}.
We can see that both of these sequences are arithmetic sequences. The mth term in the sequence of
numerators is m, andthe nth term in the sequence of denominators is n+ 1. Therefore, the sequence
can be described by the explicit formula
(-1)"n
an=
n+1-
b. The sequence of numerators 3, 9, 27, 81, 243,... is a geometric sequence. The numerator of the
nth term is 3” The sequence of denominators 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,... is an arithmetic sequence. The
denominator of the nth term is 4+ 3(n — 1) = 3n + 1. Therefore, we can describe the sequence by the
explicit formula a, = > T

Sequence:
A fundamental question that arises regarding infinite sequences is the behavior of the terms as n gets larger. Since a
sequence is a function defined on the positive integers, it makes sense to discuss the limit of the terms as n > oo. For
example, consider the following four sequences and their different behaviors as n — oo (see Figure 5.3):
a. {1+3n} = {4, 7, 10, 13,...}. The terms 1 + 3m become arbitrarily large as m > oo. In this case, we say that
1+3n—-ow ano.
