CVHS - Algebra 1 - Arithmetic Sequences

Front

What is an arithmetic sequence?

Back

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

Front

What is the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The common difference is the fixed amount that is added to each term to get the next term in the sequence.

What are the next two terms in the sequence: 4, 7, 10, 13?

Back

16 and 19

Front

What is the common difference in the sequence: 25, 20, 15?

Back

-5

13

Front

If the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 5 and the common difference is 3, what is the 5th term?

Back

17

Front

How do you find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The nth term can be found using the formula: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

Front

What is the 10th term of the sequence: 2, 5, 8, ...?

Back

29

Front

If the common difference is negative, what does that indicate about the sequence?

Back

It indicates that the sequence is decreasing.
