Sequence 1: -4, 1, 6, 11, …
a) Find common difference (d)
b) Find the 10th term
c) Write the sequence in explicit /closed form: tn = t1 + (n-1)d
d) Find the 25th term
e) Write the sequence in recursive form: tn = tn-1 + d
f) Review the solutions and revise if needed. Write the solutions on chart paper and be prepared to present to the class. There will be another group with the same problem so the class will compare and contrast as you present the same problem together.
