For the function f(x) = 3x - 7, what is f(5)?
Answer: 8
f(5) = 3(5) - 7 = 15 - 7 = 8.
Find the next term in the arithmetic sequence: 11, 17, 23, 29, ___?
Answer: 35
Common difference = 6. Next term = 29 + 6 = 35.
If g(x) = x² + 2x - 3, what is g(3)?
Answer: 12
g(3) = (3)² + 2(3) - 3 = 9 + 6 - 3 = 12.
What is the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence starting at 4 with a common difference of 7?
Answer: 67
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d = 4 + (10-1)(7) = 4 + 63 = 67.
A geometric sequence has first term 6 and common ratio 3. What is the 4th term?
Answer: 162
a_n = a_1 × r^(n-1) = 6 × 3³ = 6 × 27 = 162.
If h(x) = 2x + 5 and h(a) = 19, what is a?
Answer: 7
2a + 5 = 19. 2a = 14. a = 7.
