Question 15 options:

Question 16 (5 points)

Write the first six terms of the following arithmetic sequence.

Find a200 when a1 = -40, d = 5

Question 17 options:

Question 18 (5 points)

Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each arithmetic sequence. Do not use a recursion formula. Then use the formula for an to find a20, the 20th term of the sequence.

an = an-1 - 10, a1 = 30

Question 18 options:

an = 60 10n; a = 260an = 60 - 10n; a = -260

an = 70 10n; a = 50an = 70 - 10n; a = -50

an = 40 10n; a = 160an = 40 - 10n; a = -160

an = 10 10n; a = 70an = 10 - 10n; a = -70
