    tn = tn =

    1. Are the following sequences arithmetic, geometric, or neither? If they are arithmetic, state the
    value of d. If they are geometric, state r.

    a) 6, 12, 18, 24, ... _____________________________________________________

    b) 6, 11, 17, ... _____________________________________________________

    c) 2, 14, 98, 686, ... _____________________________________________________

    d) 160, 80, 40, 20, ... _____________________________________________________

    e) -40, -25, -10, 5, .... _____________________________________________________

    f) 7, -21, 63, -189, ... _____________________________________________________

    2. For the following arithmetic sequences, find a and d and state the formula for the general term.
    Dont forget to simplify!

    a) - 10, - 4, 2, 8, 14, ... b) 10, 8, 6, 4, ... c) 36, 31, 25, 21, ...
    3. Use your formula from question 2c to find the values of t7 and t20.

    4. For the following geometric sequences, find a and r and state the formula for the general term.

    a) 1, 3, 9, 27, ... b) 12, 6, 3, 1.5, ... c) 9, -3, 1, ...

    5. Use your formula from question 4c) to find the values of the t4 and t12

    6. Find the number of terms in the following arithmetic sequences. Hint: you will need to find the
    formula for tn first!

    a) 2, 5, 8, ..... , 299 b) 9, 5, 1, ..... - 251.

    Answers:
    1a) arithmetic d = 6 b) neither c) geometric r = 7 d) geometric r = 0.5 or r = e) arithmetic d = 15 f) geometric r = -3 2a) a = -10; d=6;
    tn =6n-16 b) a = 10; d=-2; tn =-2n+12 c) a = 36; d=-5; tn = - 5n+41 3. t7 =6; t2 0 = -59 4. a) a = 1; r = 3; tn = 1(3)n 1 b) a = 12; r =

    ; c) a = 9; r = - 3; tn = 9(-3)n 1 5. t4 = -243 t1 2 = -177147 6. a) tn = 3n-1; n = 100 b) tn = -4n+13; n=66
