A sequence decreases by 6 each time starting at 50. What are the first 3 terms?

50, 44, 38

200


Is the sequence arithmetic? 

Explain why or why not.

No, because you multiply by 2 each time instead of adding/subtracting a constant amount (no common difference)

200

 Does this represent an arithmetic sequence? How do you know?

Yes, because the cost increases by a constant rate of $15 each month.

200
