Find the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence: 5, 8, 11, 14, ...
Answer: 32
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d = 5 + (10-1)×3 = 5 + 27 = 32.
If f(x) = 4x - 7 and f(a) = 17, what is the value of a?
Answer: 6
4a - 7 = 17. 4a = 24. a = 6.
What type of sequence is: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80?
Answer: Geometric sequence with r=2
Each term is multiplied by 2, making this a geometric sequence with common ratio r=2.
If h(x) = (x + 3)/2, what is h(11)?
Answer: 7
h(11) = (11 + 3)/2 = 14/2 = 7.
The sum of the first 5 terms of an arithmetic sequence is 65. If the first term is 5, what is the common difference?
Answer: 4
S_n = n/2 × (2a + (n-1)d). 65 = 2.5 × (10 + 4d). 26 = 10 + 4d. 4d = 16. d = 4.
What is the next term in the sequence: 2, 5, 11, 23, 47?
Answer: 95
Rule: ×2 + 1. 2×2+1=5, 5×2+1=11, 11×2+1=23, 23×2+1=47, 47×2+1=95.
