ARITHMETIC ANG GEOMETRIC

SEQUENCES
 An arithmetic sequence goes from one term to the next
by always adding (or subtracting) the same value.

 A geometric sequence goes from one term to the next by

always multiplying (or dividing) by the same value.
Find the common difference and the next term
of the following sequence:

3, 11, 19, 27, 35, ...

Find the common ratio and the seventh term
of the following sequence:

29,23,2,6,18
 For arithmetic sequences, the common difference is d, and the first term a1 is often referred to simply as
"a". Since we get the next term by adding the common difference, the value of a2 is just:
a2 = a + d
Continuing, the third term is:
a3 = (a + d) + d = a + 2d
The fourth term is:
a4 = (a + 2d) + d = a + 3d
At each stage, the common difference was multiplied by a value that was one less than the index. Following this
pattern, the n-th term an will have the form:
an = a + (n – 1)d
 For geometric sequences, the common ratio is r, and the first term a1 is often referred to simply as "a". Since
we get the next term by multiplying by the common ratio, the value of a2 is just:
a2 = ar
Continuing, the third term is:
a3 = r(ar) = ar2
The fourth term is:
a4 = r(ar2) = ar3
At each stage, the common ratio was raised to a power that was one less than the index. Following this pattern,
the n-th term an will have the form:
an = ar(n – 1)
 Find the n-th term and the first three terms of the arithmetic sequence having
a4 = 93 and a8 = 65.

 Find the n-th and the 26th terms of the geometric sequence with a5​=and a12 =
160
