General Directions: Show your complete and organized solutions. Box your final
answers.

1. Find the general term un for an arithmetic sequence given that

(a) u 7 = 41 and u13 = 77

(b) u11 = − 16 and u8 = − 11.5

2. Insert 6 numbers between −1 and 32 so that all eight numbers form an arithmetic
sequence.

3. Consider the sequence 87, 83, 79, 75, …

(a) Find un in the form un = an + c.

(b) Hence, find the first term of the sequence that is less than −20.
