• 3, 6, 12, 24, ...

• 3, 6, 10, 15, ...

• 3, 7, 11, 15, ...

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

What is a₇ ?

• -13

The explicit formula for a sequence is a_n = 5 − 3n. What is the value of a₂₂ ?

• a₂₂ = -61

• a₂₂ = 61

• a₂₂ = -1

• a₂₂ = -51

Given the arithmetic sequence: 22, 17, 12, 7, . . . . What is the recursive formula that models the sequence?

• f (1) = 7

  f (n) = f (n − 1) − 5

• f (1) = 22

  f (n) = f (n − 1) − 5

• f (1) = 7

  f (n) = f (n − 1) + 5

• f (1) = 22

  f (n) = f (n − 1) + 5
