Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = -4</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Pick any term of the sequence, and subtract off the previous term to find that,

  • term2 - term1 = -12 - (-8) = -12 + 8 = -4
  • term3 - term2 = -16 - (-12) = -16 + 12 = -4
  • term4 - term3 = -20 - (-16) = -20 + 16 = -4

Each time we get the same result, so that means we have an arithmetic sequence with common difference -4

This indicates that adding -4 to each term, or subtracting 4 from each term, will generate the next one.

Eg: term2 = term1 - 4 = -8-4 = -12.

==========================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = 5</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Similar to problem 1, this sequence is also arithmetic because we add on 5 to each term to get the next one

  • -6+5 = -1
  • -1+5 = 4
  • 4+5 = 9

Or you could subtract adjacent terms as done in problem 1, to find that the common difference is 5.

==========================================================

Problem 3

<h3>Answer: Not arithmetic</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Unlike the previous two problems, this sequence is not arithmetic.

We can see that

  • term2 - term1 = 12 - 3 = 9
  • term3 - term2 = 48 - 12 = 36

The gaps of 9 and 36 aren't the same. We need the same common difference between any adjacent terms to have an arithmetic sequence.

This sequence is instead geometric because

  • term2/term1 = 12/3 = 4
  • term3/term2 = 48/12 = 4
  • term4/term3 = 192/48 = 4

Each quotient is 4, showing the common ratio is 4. To find the next term, we multiply the current term by 4. So the next term after 192 would be 4*192 = 768, then 4*768 = 3072 is next, and so on.

7. x=3 is the midpoint between the roots. The other root is x = 2*3 -(-5) = 11.

8a) f(x) = (x +3)^2 -49. The vertex is (-3, -49). The roots are -10, 4.

8b) y = (x+4)^2 -1. The vertex is (-4, -1). The roots are -5, -3.

8c) f(x) = 2(x +3)^2 -34. The vertex is (-3, -34). The roots are -3±√17.
