1. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given. (i) Find the first five terms of the sequence.
(ii) What is the common difference 𝑑?
A. un = -6 – 4(n – 1)
i. First five terms of the sequence:
u1 = -6 - 4(1-1)
u1 = -6 - 4(0)
u1 = -6 – 0
u1 = -6

u2 = -6 - 4(2-1)
u2 = -6 - 4(1)
u2 = -6 – 4
u2 = -10

u3 = -6 - 4(3-1)
u3 = -6 - 4(2)
u3 = -6 – 8
u3 = -14

u4 = -6 - 4(4-1)
u4 = -6 - 4(3)
u4 = -6 – 12
u4 = -18

u5 = -6 - 4(5-1)
u5 = -6 - 4(4)
u5 = -6 – 16
u5 = -22

First five terms of the sequence: -6, -10, -14, -18, -22, …
ii. The common difference (d = -4)

B. un = -10 + 4(n – 1)
i. First five terms of the sequence:
u1 = -10 + 4(1-1)
u1 = -10 + 4(0)
u1 = -10 + 0
u1 = -10

u2 = -10 + 4(2-1)
u2 = -10 + 4(1)
u2 = -10 + 4
u2 = -6

u3 = -10 + 4(3-1)
u3 = -10 + 4(2)
u3 = -10 + 8
u3 = -2

u4 = -10 + 4(4-1)
u4 = -10 + 4(3)
u4 = -10 + 12
u4 = 2

u5 = -10 + 4(5-1)
u5 = -10 + 4(4)
u5 = -10 + 16
u5 = 6

First five terms of the sequence: -10, -6, -2, 2, 6, …


ii. The common difference (d = 4)
2. Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence with the given first term a and common
difference d. What is the 10th term?
U10 = -5 + 4(n-1)
U10 = -5 + 4(10-1)
U10 = -5 + 4(9)
U10 = -5 + 36
U10 = 31
