  1. Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences

  2. Arithmetic Sequences Every day a radio station asks a question for a prize of $150. If the 5th caller does not answer correctly, the prize money increased by $150 each day until someone correctly answers their question.

  3. Arithmetic Sequences Make a list of the prize amounts for a week (Mon - Fri) if the contest starts on Monday and no one answers correctly all week.

  4. Arithmetic Sequences • Monday : $150 • Tuesday: $300 • Wednesday: $450 • Thursday: $600 • Friday: $750

  5. Arithmetic Sequences • These prize amounts form a sequence, more specifically each amount is a term in an arithmetic sequence. To find the next term we just add $150.

  6. A sequence in which each term is found by ADDING the same number to the previous term. What is an arithmetic sequence? 4, 8, 12 , 16, 20………….. +4 +4 +4 +4

  7. The difference between each number. This determines what is added to each previous number to obtain the next number. What is the common difference? 4, 8, 12, 16, 20………….. 4 is the common difference

  8. Geometric Sequence • What if your pay check started at $100 a week and doubled every week. What would your salary be after four weeks?

  9. GeometricSequence • Starting $100. • After one week - $200 • After two weeks - $400 • After three weeks - $800 • After four weeks - $1600. • These values form a geometric sequence.

  10. A sequence in which each term can be found by multiplying the previous term by the same number. What is a geometric sequence? 3, 9, 27 , 81, 243………….. x3 x3 x3 x3

  11. The number used to multiply by each previous number to obtain the next number. What is the common ratio? 2, 8, 32, 128, 512………….. 4 is the common ratio

  12. Let’s Practice!

  13. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? 10, 15, 20, 25, 30…… Arithmetic Sequence +5 5 is the common difference

  14. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? 2, 12, 72, 432, 2,592…… Geometric Sequence x6 6 is the common ratio

  15. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? What is the common ratio or difference? What is the next term in this sequence?5, 20, 80, 320 , _____ x4 x4 x4 x4 1,280

  16. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? What is the common ratio or difference? What is the next term in this sequence?5, -1, -7 -13 , _____ -6 -6 -6 -6 -19

  17. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? What is the common ratio or difference? What is the next term in this sequence?-3, 6, -12, 24 , _____ X-2 X-2 X-2 X-2 -48

  18. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? What is the common ratio or difference? What is the next term in this sequence?-400,-380,-360,-340 , ____ +20 +20 +20 +20 -320

  19. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? What is the common ratio or difference? What is the next term in this sequence?100, 75, 50 , 25____ -25 -25 -25 -25 0

  20. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? What is the common ratio or difference? What is the next term in this sequence?12, -48, 192 , -768____ x-4 x-4 x-4 x-4 3,072
