Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG1.114 Recognize Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Answer Key skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A teacher asks whether 12, 18, 27, 40.5, ... is arithmetic or geometric. Which explanation earns full credit?
AIt is neither because the terms include a decimal.
BIt is geometric because all consecutive ratios are 1.5, while the differences 6, 9, and 13.5 are not constant.
CIt is arithmetic because the terms increase.
DIt is arithmetic because the first difference is 6.
Solution & Explanation:Full credit requires checking the whole pattern. The ratios are 18/12 = 1.5, 27/18 = 1.5, and 40.5/27 = 1.5, so the sequence is geometric. The differences are not constant.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which sequence can be described as both arithmetic and geometric using nonzero terms?
A2, 4, 8, 16, ...
B5, 8, 11, 14, ...
C1, 4, 9, 16, ...
D6, 6, 6, 6, ...
Solution & Explanation:A constant nonzero sequence adds 0 each time, so it is arithmetic with d = 0. It also multiplies by 1 each time, so it is geometric with r = 1.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A table lists n = 0, 1, 2, 3 and a_n = 1, 4, 16, 64. Which statement is correct?
AThe sequence is geometric with common ratio 3 because 4 - 1 = 3.
BThe sequence is arithmetic with common difference 3.
CThe sequence is neither because a sequence cannot start at n = 0.
DThe sequence is geometric with common ratio 4, even though the index starts at 0.
Solution & Explanation:The ratios are 4/1 = 4, 16/4 = 4, and 64/16 = 4. The index starting at 0 does not change the common ratio.
