Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next two terms. \(7,-7,-21,-35, \ldots\)
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=10, r=-4\)
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. \(18,6,2, \frac{2}{3}, \ldots\)
Company A pays $$\$ 23,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 1200$$ per year. Company B pays $$\$ 26,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 800$$ per year. Which company will pay more in year 10 ? How much more?
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. The sequence for the number of seats per row in our movie theater as the rows move toward the back is arithmetic with \(d=1\) so people don't block the view of those in the row behind them.
