a. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
That's an arithmetic sequence with first term and
common difference , because you always ADD 2 to get the next term.
So we use
------------------------------------
b. 0, 50, 100, 150, 200
That's an arithmetic sequence with first term and
common difference , because you always ADD 50 to get the next term.
That one is done exactly like problem a. I'll let you do that one
by yourself.
------------------------------------
c. 3, 6, 12, 24, 48
That's a geometric sequence with first term and common
ration , because you always MULTIPLY BY 2 to get the next term.
So we use
------------------------------------
d. 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000
That's a geometric sequence with first term and common
ratio , because you always MULTIPLY BY 10 to get the next term.
That one is done exactly like problem c. I'll let you do that one
by yourself.
------------------------------------
e. 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29
That's an arithmetic sequence with first term and ,
because you always ADD 4 to get the next term.
That one is done exactly like problem a. I'll let you do that one
by yourself.
------------------------------------
f. 1, 8, 27, 64, 125
Now that one is different from the others because it is neither an
arithmetic sequence nor a geometric sequence. However we can recognize it
as the sequence of the cube of the successive positive integers.
1=1³, 8=2³, 27=3³, 64=4³, 125=5³
So
------------------------------------
