Sequences
Identify arithmetic sequences
A sequence is given: 7, 5, 3, 1, -1,...
1) Is this sequence arithmetic or geometric? Explain
2) Write a recursive rule and an explicit rule
for each of the following sequences.
For
each rule, generate the first 5 terms of the sequence that is defined. In each
case, n is an integer and n ≥ 2.
a.
f(1) = 4
f(n) = 5 + f(n – 1)
b.
f(1) = –3
f(n) = –2 × f(n –
