  1. +2 +2 +2 Example 7-1a Determine whether –15, –13, –11, –9, ... is arithmetic.Justify your answer. –15 –13 –11 –9 Answer: This is an arithmetic sequence because the difference between terms is constant.

  2. Determine whether is arithmetic. Justify your answer. Example 7-1b Answer: This is not an arithmetic sequence because the difference between terms is not constant.

  3. Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic.Justify your answer. a. 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, ... b. Example 7-1c Answer: This is not an arithmetic sequence because the difference between terms is not constant. Answer: This is an arithmetic sequence because the difference between terms is constant.

  4. –3 –3 –3 –3 –3 –3 Example 7-2a Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence. –8, –11, –14, –17, ... Find the common differenceby subtracting successive terms. –8 –11 –14 –17 The common difference is –3. Add –3 to the last term of the sequence to get the next term in the sequence. Continue adding –3 until the next three terms arefound. –17 –20 –23 –26 Answer: The next three terms are –20, –23, –26.

  5. Example 7-2b Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence. 5, 12, 19, 26, ... Answer: 33, 40, 47

  6. In this sequence, the first term, a1 , is 7. You want to find the 9th term, Find the common difference. +4 +4 +4 Example 7-3a Find the 9th term of the arithmetic sequence.7, 11, 15, 19, ... 7 11 15 19 The common difference is 4.

  7. Formula for the nth term Simplify. Example 7-3a Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. Answer: The 9th term in the sequence is 39.

  8. Example 7-3b Find the 12th term in the arithmetic sequence.12, 17, 22, 27, ... Answer: 67

  9. +9 +9 +9 Formula for nth term Distributive Property Simplify. Example 7-4a Consider the arithmetic sequence –8, 1, 10, 19, .... Write an equation for the nth term of the sequence. In this sequence, the first term, a1, is –8. Find the common difference. –8 1 10 19 The common difference is 9. Use the formula for the nth term to write an equation.

  10. Answer: An equation for the nth term in this sequence is . Check . and so on. . Example 7-4a

  11. Equation for thenthterm Replacen with 12. Answer: Simplify. Example 7-4b Find the 12th term of the sequence. Replacenwith 12 in the equation written in parta.

  12. n 1 –8 (1, –8) 2 1 (2, 1) 3 10 (3, 10) 4 19 (4, 19) 5 28 (5, 28) Example 7-4c Graph the first five terms of the sequence. Answer: Notice the points fall on a line. The graph of an arithmetic sequence is linear.

  13. Answer: Example 7-4d Consider the arithmetic sequence –3, 0, 3, 6, ... a. Write an equation for the nth term of the sequence. b. Find the 18th term in the sequence. c. Graph the first five terms in the sequence. Answer: 48 Answer:
