Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next two terms. \(15,30,60,120, \ldots\)
Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next two terms. \(6,3, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \ldots\)
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each arithmetic sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{20}\), the 20 th term of the sequence. \(a_{1}=9, d=2\)
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=\frac{1}{2}, r=2\)
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(0.0004,-0.004,0.04,-0.4, \ldots\)
