Warm-Up

Consider the first 2 terms of the sequence -6, 18, . . . 1. Determine the next 5 terms in the sequence if the sequence is arithmetic. 2. Determine the next 5 terms in the sequence if the sequence is geometric. 3. Make sure that you have Topic 2, Lesson 3: Did you mean recursion Pg. M1-131

Topic 2 Lesson 3: Did you mean

recursion?Activity 3.1 Writing Formulas for Arithmetic Sequences

(Pg. M1-131 through M1-142)

Goals

Learning Goals 1. Write recursive formulas for arithmetic and geometric sequences from contexts. 2. Write explicit expressions for arithmetic and geometric sequences from

contexts. 3. Use formulas to determine unknown terms of a sequence.

Essential Question You have learned that arithmetic and geometric sequences always describe functions. How can you write equations to represent these functions?
