1. Use a traditional clock face to determine the next 3 terms in following sequence.
1,6,11,4,9
It is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference is 5 (5 hours).
6 −1=5 a 2 − a1=d ( common difference)

To find next 3 terms of an arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula:

a n=a1 +(n −1)d

a 6=1+(6 − 1)5 a 7=1+(7 − 1)5 a 8=1+( 8− 1) 5

a 6=1+(5)5 a 7=1+(6) 5 a 8=1+(7)5
a 6=1+25 a 7=1+30 a 8=1+35
a 6=26 a 7=31 a 8=36

a 6=26 −24 a 7=31− 24 a 8=36 −24

a 6=2 a 7=7 a 8=12
Therefore, the next 3 terms are 2, 7, and 12.

2. Complete the following pattern:

CSD, ETF, GUH, ____, KWL

It is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference is different in each following

pattern.

C S D, E T F, G U H, I V J, K W L

SOLUTION:

The common difference in C,E,G, _ , K is 2.

a n=a1 +(n −1)d
a 4=3+(4 −1)2
a 4=3+(3)2
a 4=3+ 6
a 4=9
9=I

Therefore, the 4th term in C,E,G, _ , K is letter I.

A B C D E F G
H I J K L M N
O P Q R S T U
V W X Y Z

The common difference in S,T,U, _ , W is 1.

a n=a1 +(n −1)d
a 4=19+(4 −1)1
a 4=19+(3)1
a 4=19+3
a 4=22
22=V

Therefore, the 4th term in S,T,U, _ , W is letter V.

H I J K L M N
O P Q R S T U
V W X Y Z

The common difference in D,F,H, _ , L is 2.

a n=a1 +(n −1)d
a 4=4+(4 − 1)2
a 4=4+(3)2
a 4=4+6
a 4=10
10=J

Therefore, the 4th term in D,F,H, _ , L is letter J.
