1. Use the difference table to predict the next term in: (10pts)
a. 1, 7, 17, 31, 49, 71, 97, 127
2n2-1
b. 9, 4, 3, 12, 37, 84, 159, 268
9 4 3 12 37 84 159 268

-5 -1 +9 +25 +47 75 109

4 10 16 22 28 34

6 6 6 6 6

2. Use the given nth- term formula to compute the first five terms of the sequence (5pts)
An = 5n2 – 3n
  An = 5(1)2 – 3(1)
=2
An = 5(2)2 – 3(2)
= 14
An = 5(3)2 – 3(3)
= 21
An = 5(4)2 – 3(4)
= 68
An = 5(5)2 – 3(5)
= 110
