Real-World Link Horseback Riding: The number of students who went on each horseback riding trip is show. Do the numbers represent the terms of an arithmetic sequence? Explain. Trip Number of Students 1 15 2 16 3 18 4 21 5 25 _________________________________________
Vocabulary arithmetic sequence - a list of numbers in which the next term is found by _______ the same number to the previous term. geometric sequence - a list of numbers in which the next term is found by ____ the previous term by the same number to get the next term.
Describe and Extend Sequences • • In an ______, the terms can be whole numbers, fractions, or decimals. Examples on pg. 358
Write an Algebraic Expression • • In a _____, each term has a specific position within the sequence. Consider the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8… 1 st position ___ position 2, 4, 6, 8, … __ position ___ position
Arithmetic Sequences 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, . . +3 +3 n+3 the same number was added common difference = 3
1, 8, 15, 22, 29, . . +7 +7 n+7 the same number was added common difference = 7
Geometric Sequences 2, 6, 18, 54, . . • 3 3 n multiplied by the same number common ratio = 3
Geometric Sequences 1, 5, 25, 125, . . • 5 5 n multiplied by the same number common ratio = 5
