A geometric sequence is one whereby the first term is multiplied by a number, known as the common ratio, to create the second term which is multiplied by the common ratio to create the third term and so on…

True or False?

True

A recurrence relation, also called a difference equation, is a rule (or formula) that is used to find any term of a sequence.

True or False

False.

A recurrence relation, also called a difference equation, is a rule (or formula) that specifies (or gives)

a particular term in a sequence using the previous term or terms.

For a graph that has 3 vertices, it can be represented using an [what x what] matrix?

[3x3]

What is "r", common ratio, for this sequence?

2, -2, 2, -2, 2

Name both of the acronym of the first term and the common ratio in a geometric sequence.

Need to get both correct to get any points

First term "a"

Common Ratio "r"

Consider the following sequence4,−28,224,−1372,…4,−28,224,−1372,…

Is the sequence arithmetic, geometric or neither?

neither

200

Does all the vertices have to be connected to form a network?

No. Not all vertices need to have an edge.

How to find a degree sum?

Degree Sum = 2 x number of edges

The fourth term of a geometric sequence is 16. r, common ratio, is 2.

State the first term of the sequence.

What is "r" of this sequence?

2, 10, 50, 250, 1250

Consider the sequence defined by a1=5 and an=−2an−1−3 

Find the 2nd term of the sequence

What is a degree of a vertex?

The number of edges that are connected to it.

What is the key difference between Euler's graph and Hamiltonian graph?

Eulerian and semi-Eulerian graphs are interested in edges, meaning the trail must use every edge no more than once.

Hamiltonian and semi-Hamiltonian graphs are interested in vertices, meaning the path must use the same vertex no more than once.

In a geometric progression, T4 = −192 and T7 = 12288.

Find the value of r, the common ratio in the sequence.

-192r3 = 12288

r3= -64 (divide both sides by -192)

r = -4

Write down the formula of Explicit Form of a geometric sequence. (again, you will need to get the exact form right in order to get any point)

Tn = arn-1

A trout farm currently has 10 000 trout in a pond. In one month, breeding has caused the trout population to increase by 10%. After one month, 3000 trout are caught and sold.

How many trout will be in the pond after one month?

8000

How many edges would a complete graph have if it contains 10 vertices?

(10x(10-1))/2

=45

A semi-Eulerian graph will have all even degree.

True or False?

False. Two vertices are of odd degree

Consider the series 4 − 8 + 16 − . . . − 2048.

Solve for n, the number of terms in the series.

n=10

Write down the formula of the sum of a geometric sequence when r>1 (you know it, have to be the exact one in order to get any point)

S= T1(r-1) / (r-1)
