Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences

The individual numbers in a sequences are called...

• Common difference
• Successive term
• Term
• Geometric term

Which kind of sequence has a common ratio?

• Arithmetic
• Geometric

Which kind of sequence has a common difference?

• Arithmetic
• Geometric

Is this sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither?
{26, 22, 18, 14, ...}

• Arithmetic
• Geometric
• Neither

Is this sequence Arithmetic, Geometric, or Neither?
{2, 9, 7, 14, 12, 19, ... }

• Arithmetic
• Geometric
• Neither

Which sequence is an arithmetic sequence?

• 3, 6, 2, 7, ...

• 3, 6, 12, 24, ...

• 3, 6, 10, 15, ...

• 3, 7, 11, 15, ...

This is an arithmetic sequence. 5, 2, –1, –4, . . .

What is a_{7 (7th term)} ?

• -13

• -11

• -18

• -22

Create the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence: 2, 8, 14, ...

• a_n=2+6(n-1)

• a_n=2+6^(n-1)

• a_n=6(n-2)

• a_n=14-6(n - 1)

What is a_{5 (5th term)} in the sequence defined as follows? a_n = 5 ⋅ 2^(n-1) 

• a₅ = 160
• a₅ = 40
• a₅ = 10
• a₅ = 80

Write the explicit formula for the sequence.

216, 72, 24, 8, ...
