1) Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Name: Solutions


𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Answer the following questions and circle the corresponding option.

8, −4, 2, −1, …
1. The Kirst four terms of the geometric sequence 𝑔! = 𝑔" (𝑟)! are shown above. What is the value of 𝑟?

1 1
(a) 𝑟 = 2 (b) 𝑟 = −2 (c) 𝑟 = (d) 𝑟 = −
2 2

2. Let 𝑎! be an arithmetic sequence where 𝑎& = 5 and 𝑎' = 14. What is the value of 𝑎$% ?

(a) 18 (b) 18.5 (c) 19 (d) 23

𝑎!($ = 𝑎! + 𝑘 5 + 6𝑘 = 14
𝑎) = 𝑎& + 𝑘 = 5 + (4 − 3)𝑘 6𝑘 = 9
𝑎* = 𝑎) + 𝑘 = 5 + 𝑘 + 𝑘 = 5 + 2𝑘 = 𝑎& + (5 − 3)𝑘 9
𝑘 = = 1.5
𝑎+ = 𝑎* + 𝑘 = 5 + 2𝑘 + 𝑘 = 5 + 3𝑘 = 𝑎& + (6 − 3)𝑘 6
⋮ 𝑎$% = 𝑎' + 1.5(12 − 9) = 14 + 1.5(3) = 18.5
𝑎' = 𝑎& + (9 − 3)𝑘 = 14

3. Let 𝑔! be a geometric sequence where 𝑔) = −5 and 𝑔+ = −45. Which of the following could be 𝑟?

I. 𝑟 = −3 II. 𝑟 = 3 III. 𝑟 = 9

(a) I only (b) II only (c) III only (d) I and II

𝑔+ = 𝑔) 𝑟 %
−45 = −5𝑟 %
𝑟 % = 9 ⇒ 𝑟 = ±3

4. Let 𝑎! and 𝑔! be an arithmetic and geometric sequence with 𝑎$ = 𝑔$ = −1 and 𝑎) = 𝑔) = 8. What is
the value of 𝑎* − 𝑔* ?

(a) − 5 (b) 0 (c) 5 (d) 27

𝑎!($ = 𝑎! + 𝑘 𝑔!($ = 𝑔! 𝑟 𝑎* = 𝑎) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11
𝑎) = 𝑎$ + 3𝑘 𝑔) = 𝑔$ 𝑟 & 𝑔* = 𝑔) (−2) = 8(−2) = −16
𝑎) = −1 + 3𝑘 = 8 8 = −1𝑟 & 𝑎* − 𝑔* = 11 − (−16) = 27
−1 + 3𝑘 = 8 −8 = 𝑟 &
3𝑘 = 9 ⇒ 𝑘 = 3 −2 = 𝑟
