  • Q1
    Given the arithmetic sequence: 5, 9, 13, 17,..., what is the explicit formula for the nth term?
    a_n = 5n + 4
    a_n = 9n
    a_n = 4n + 5
    a_n = 5 + (n - 1) * 4

  • Q2
    Consider the arithmetic sequence with an initial term of 3 and a common difference of 7. What is the recursive formula for the sequence?
    a_n = 3n + 7
    a_n = 3n
    a_n = a_{n-1} - 7; a_1 = 3
    a_n = a_{n-1} + 7; a_1 = 3

  • Q4
    If an arithmetic sequence starts with 15 and has a common difference of -2, what is the recursive formula for the sequence?
    a_n = a_{n-1} + 2; a_1 = 15
    a_n = 15n - 2
    a_n = a_{n-1} - 2; a_1 = 15
    a_n = 2a_{n-1}; a_1 = 15
