Is the following sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither? Explain your reasoning
Arithmetic, points are on a straight line, so rate of change is constant
Define the following sequence for the nth term:
2, 3, 4.5, 6.75

f(1)=9, f(2)=5, f(3)=1, f(4)=-3
f(n)=f(n-1)-4,f(1)=9,n>1

5, 10, 15, 20, ...
35
Is the following sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither? Show or explain your reasoning.
1,4,10,22,...
Neither, no rate of change or growth factor
A sequence can be defined recursively by the following equation:
f(n)=f(n-1)+3, f(1) = 5, n>1
Find the equation for the nth term
f(n) = 3n +2, n>0

f(n)=f(n-1)+5, f(1)=10, n>1
Find the 5th term in the following sequence (show or explain your work:
f(n) = f(n-1) * 3, f(1) = 5, n>1
Start at 5 and multiply by 3 until you reach 5th term: 5, 15, 45, 135, 405
405
Is the following sequence geometric, arithmetic, or neither? Show or explain your reasoning
Geometric, growth factor of 6
Define the sequence displayed in the graph below for the nth term:
f(n)=3(2)^n, n>=0
or f(n)=3(2)^(n-1), n>=1
Write the recursive definition of the following sequence: 5, 20, 80, 320, ...
f(n) = f(n-1) * 4, f(1)=5, n>1
What will be the 10th term of the sequence below (show or explain your work):

1536
Is the following sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither:
f(n) = f(n-1)/2, f(1)=7, n>1
Explain your reasoning
Geometric, dividing by the same number over and over same as multiplying by 1/2 over and over
A sequence can be defined recursively by the following:
f(1) = 8, f(n)= 3*f(n-1), n>1
