Question 1075584: Provide the first five terms of an arithmetic or geometric sequence that has a first term higher than 10 and a common difference or ratio that is positive but not 1.
1.  Explain how to determine the nth term formula.
2.  Find the 30th term, showing all work.
 
B.  Explain how to use patterns or sequences to determine the last digit of the number 7^N, where N is the four-digit year of your birth.

.
B.  HINT:  the last digits of the sequence , , , , . . . , . . .  n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, . . . 

           form a periodic sequence 7, 9, 3, 1, 7, 9, 3, 1, . . . . 




So, if you were born in 2001, then the last digit of the number  is 7;

    if you were born in 2002, then the last digit of the number  is 9;

    if you were born in 2003, then the last digit of the number  is 3;

    if you were born in 2004, then the last digit of the number  is 1;


And so on . . . . cyclically . . .
