Given the sequences defined as follows, tell if each is arithmetic, geometric, or neither.
A.
an 3n
B.
an 2 3
C.

a1 4 and an an1 for n 1
2
D.
an 2 n 2
A: arithmetic (3, 6, 9, 12, ...)
Solution:
B: geometric 6, 18, 54, ...
C: geometric 4, 6, 9, ...
D: neither 2, 8, 18, ...
2. An arithmetic sequence has a first term of 2 x 3 and a fifteenth term of 16 x 25 . If the common
difference of this sequence is 5, determine the numeric value of the fifth term.
a15 a1 14d
Solution: 16 x 25 2 x 3 14 5
14 x 98 x 7
a1 2 7 3 17
Then: a5 a1 4d

3. A sequence is defined recursively by a1 7 and an an1 8 for n 1 .
A. Is this sequence arithmetic or geometric?
Solution: arithmetic , since a common difference (8) is being added each time.
B. Give the value of the 4th term of this sequence.
a2 7 8 15
Solution: a3 15 8 23
a4 23 8 31
C. Give an explicit definition (defining an in terms of n) for this sequence.
Solution: Possible explicit definitions include an 7 n 1 8 and an 8n 1 .
Any equivalent definition in terms of n should be accepted.
4. A geometric sequence has a3 128 and a8 972 . Determine the product of terms a2 and a9 in
this sequence.
Solution: Students may solve for the common ratio:
and find terms 2 and 9: a2
Then a2 a9

EXTEMPORANEOUS QUESTIONS
Give this sheet to the students at the beginning of the extemporaneous question period.
STUDENTS: You will have a maximum of 3 minutes TOTAL to solve and present your solution
to these problems. Either or both the presenter and the oral assistant may present the solutions.
1. Due to its soaring popularity, the cast of a new sitcom show are demanding that they receive a 50%
raise in their salary for each year the show stays on the air. If a particular cast member earns
$1,000,000 in the first year, what is her salary in the fifth year?
Solution: 1, 000, 000 1.54 $5, 062,500
2.
The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 2, and the tenth term is 20.
A. What is the common difference for this arithmetic sequence?
Solution:
a10 a1 9d
20 2 9d d 2
B. Find the value of the twelfth term.

Solution: Since the common difference is 2,
a12 a10 2d
a12 20 2 2 a12 24
Alternately, students may start from the first term, using a12 a1 11d or use a
recursive formula from term 10, adding the common difference twice.
