Examples of general term in the following topics:
-
- Given terms in a sequence, it is often possible to find a formula for the general term of the sequence, if the formula is a polynomial.
- Given several terms in a sequence, it is sometimes possible to find a formula for the general term of the sequence.
- Some sequences are generated by a general term which is not a polynomial.
- Given any general term, the sequence can be generated by plugging in successive values of $n$.

- Long-term financing is generally for assets and projects and short term financing is typically for continuing operations.
- The sources of financing are, generically, capital that is self-generated by the firm and capital from external funders, obtained by issuing new debt and equity.
- Management must attempt to match the long-term or short-term financing mix to the assets being financed as closely as possible, in terms of both timing and cash flows.
- Major methods for long-term financing are as follows:
- The term is usually applied to longer-term debt instruments, generally with a maturity date falling at least a year after their issue date.
-
- A monomial equations has one term; a binomial has two terms; a trinomial has three terms.
- Outer ("outside" terms are multiplied—that is, the first term of the first binomial and the second term of the second)
- Inner ("inside" terms are multiplied—second term of the first binomial and first term of the second)
- The general form is shown in and is diagrammed in .
- The general form of the FOIL method using only variables as the potential multipliers.
-
- Up to this point, we have been discussing equilibrium constants in terms of concentration.
- Take the general gas-phase reaction:
- Our equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressures, designated KP, is given as:
- Therefore, the term RT is a constant in the above expression.
- Write the equilibrium expression, KP, in terms of the partial pressures of a gas-phase reaction
-
- Current liabilities are debts owed in the short term, such as accounts payable, short-term debts, and other obligations within a short operational cycle.
- While short-term planning is predominately what is used in respect to working capital (due to the short term nature of the inputs and outputs involved), it is reasonable to set long-term polices and strategies for incorporating changes in working capital into financial strategy.
- From the long-term perspective, this profitability metric will be quite a bit different than the short term.
- Despite the potential advantages of longer-term planning in working capital, it is still largely a field of shorter term decision making.
- Generally, working capital should be considered within a one year or less time frame, making it more often a shorter term decision.
-
- The portion of long-term liabilities that must be paid in the coming 12-month period are classified as current liabilities.
- In accounting, the long-term liabilities are shown on the right side of the balance sheet, along with the rest of the liability section, and their sources of funds are generally tied to capital assets.
- Examples of long-term liabilities are debentures, bonds, mortgage loans and other bank loans (it should be noted that not all bank loans are long term since not all are paid over a period greater than one year. ) Also long-term liabilities are a way for a company to show the existence of debt that can be paid in a time period longer than one year, a sign that the company is able to obtain long-term financing .
- Bonds are a form of long-term debt because they typically mature several years after their original issue date.
- Explain the reporting of the current portion of a long-term debt
-
- A polynomial is called a binomial if it has two terms, and a trinomial if it has three terms.
- Any negative sign on a term should be included in the multiplication of that term.
- Outer ("outside" terms are multiplied—that is, the first term of the first binomial and the second term of the second)
- Inner ("inside" terms are multiplied—second term of the first binomial and first term of the second)
- Remember that any negative sign on a term in a binomial should also be included in the multiplication of that term.

- First we think of it as the sum of terms that are written in terms of $a_1$, so that the second term is $a_1+d$, the third is $a_1+2d$, and so on.
- Next, we think of each term as being written in terms of the last term, $a_n$.
- Then the last term is $a_n$, the term before the last is $a_n-d$, the term before that is $a_n-2d$, and so on.
- We can see that the first term is $a_1 = 3$.
- The general form for an infinite arithmetic series is:
-
- Short-term memory decays rapidly and has a limited capacity.
- Though the term "working memory" is often used synonymously with "short-term memory," working memory is related to but actually distinct from short-term memory.
- The phonological loop is responsible for dealing with auditory and verbal information, such as phone numbers, people's names, or general understanding of what other people are talking about.
- It also links the working memory to the long-term memory, controls the storage of long-term memory, and manages memory retrieval from storage.
- The process of transferring information from short-term to long-term memory involves encoding and consolidation of information.
-
- Adding the first term to the last term: $3 + 17 = 20$
- Adding the second term to the second-to-last term also amounts to a sum of 20.
- We can see that the third term and third-to-last terms have a similar effect.
- There are eight terms in $3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17$, and they add to four 20s, or 80.
- Adding the first and the last, second term and second to last, etc. all yield the same answer.
