Terms to Know for Arithmetic Sequences
Sequence - a list of #s in a particular order
Term - each # in a sequence
Arithmetic sequence - a list of #s that each term after first is found by adding constant d
common difference - difference between 2 successive terms in arithmetic sequence; d = a2 - a1
5
Arithmetic Sequences: Finding the Next Terms
Find the next 3 terms ; 52, 43, 34
common difference; d = a2 - a1 = 43 - 52 = - 9
The next 3 terms are 25, 16, and 7
Find the next 3 terms ; -11, 2, 15
common difference; d = a2 - a1 = 2 - (-11) = 13
The next 3 terms are 28, 41, and 54

33, 29, 25, 21
33, 28, 25, 20

Arithmetic Sequences: Finding the nth term
an means nth term, a1 means the 1st term, and a0 means the term before the 1st term; n indicate a position. (such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 100th)
an = d⋅n + a0; leave n as "n" when you write explicit formula.
11,13, 15, 17, 19
d = 2, a1 = 11, so a0 = 9;
an = 2n + 9
8
Multiple Choice

Arithmetic Recursive Formula;
a1 = #, an = an-1 + d
A rule in which one or more previous terms are used to generate the next term; an-1 means a previous term; a1 = #, an = an-1 + d
The Fibonnaci Sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, . . . ;an = an-1 + an-2
1) a1 = 14; an = an-1 + 9
Find the 1st 5 terms ; 14, 23, 32, 41, 50
2) a1 = 6; an = an-1 - 5
The first 5 terms are 6, 1, -4, - 9, - 14

Terms to Know for Geometric Sequences
Geometric sequence - a list of #s with multiplying a constant "r" pattern; 3, 6, 12, 24,...
Common ratio; r = 2nd term/1st term
16
Multiple Select
1) Determine whether the sequence is geometric. If yes, identify the common ratio and give the next 3 terms.
{6, 12, 24, 48, . . . }
Yes, geometric; r = 2

No, arithmetic; d = 6
Neither arithmetic nor geometric

Multiple Choice
8) Write the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence:
100, 50, 25, 12.5, ...
an= a1(r)n-1
an = 2(100)n-1
an = 100(2)n-1
an = 100(1/2)n-1
an = (1/2)(100)n-1
20
Geometric Recursive Formula; uses previous term.
a1 = #, an = r(an-1); r = a2 ÷ a1
Write a recursive rule, then find a5. {1, 5, 25, 125, . . . }
a1 = 1; an = 5(an-1); a5 = 625
Write a recursive rule, then find a5. {130, 65, 32.5, 16.25, . . . }
a1 = 130; an = 0.5(an-1); a5 = 8.125
21

6) Write a recursive rule for each sequence. Then find a5. {8, 24, 72, 216, . . .

a1 = 8, an = - 3( an-1)
a1 = 8, an = 4 an-1
a5 = 648
a5 = - 648

Geometric Explicit: Finding the nth term;
an = a1⋅r n-1
Explicit Formula: A rule in which the nth term is defined as a function of n (Previous terms are unnecessary). We use it to find nth term or how many terms are there.
an = a1⋅r n-1; leave n - 1as "n - 1" for explicit.
15) a1 = 7 and r = 4; find a8.
Use an = a1⋅r n-1
a8 = 7(4)8-1= 7(4)7 = 114688

Multiple Choice
Create the arithmetic explicit formula for the sequence:
-8, -6, -4, ...
(Hint: Write your formula and then simplify it.)
