Arithmetic Sequence • Add or Subtract the same number each time This is called the common difference examples • 2, 4, 6, 8, … common difference is + 2 • 1600, 1500, 1400, 1300, … common difference is -100
Arithmetic Sequences • 4, 7, 10, 13,… • Common difference: + 3 • 27, 24, 21, 18,… • Common difference: -3 • 5, 20, 35, 50,… • Common difference: + 15
Arithmetic Sequences areLinear Patterns Line ar When you graph the pattern it makes a line It goes up or down gradually.
Geometric Sequence • Multiply by the same number each time (although it may appear as if you are dividing) This is called the common ratio and is always represented by multiplication. examples • 1, 4, 16, 64, … common ratio is 4 • 400, 200, 100, 50, … common ratio is x 1/2 (dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2)
Geometric Sequence • 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,… • Common ratio: x 2 • 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5,… • Common ratio: ½ • 6, 24, 96, 384, 1536, 6144,… • Common ratio: x 4
Geometric Sequences areExponential Patterns ial Exponent When you graph the pattern it makes a steep curve It goes up or down fast!
Make your own patterns Geometric Arithmetic • Start at 1, rule: x 2 • Start at 1000, x 1/2 • Start at 3, x 3 • Start at 390,625, x 1/5 • Start at 218,700, x 1/3 • Start at 1, x 4 • Start at 1, rule: +2 • Start at 1000, -50 • Start at 12, +6 • Start at 81, -9 • Start at 13, +5 • Start at 20, -4
Powers of 10 • Ten to the 3rd power • =10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 exponent base
