Sequences Cut out each statement and put into the following three groups.

Are these statements: 1. Always true? 2. Sometimes true? 3. Never true?

1. An arithmetic sequence has an equal difference between each term. 2. The term-to-term rule for 4n+1 is add 4.

8. The 50th term of the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 is 190.

9. The sequence 5n is the five times table.

4. If a sequence has an nth term containing 4n, 4 will be a number in the sequence. 4. The nth term of a quadratic sequence contains an n.

10. The algebraic rule for a quadratic sequence contains an n2.

11. The sequence 20-3n descends.

5. The 100th term of the sequence 5n-2 is 498.

12. The sequence 5n-2 has a difference of 5 between each term.

6. The sequence 5, 8, 13, 20, 29 is arithmetic.

13. The nth term of the sequence 2, 8, 14, 20 is 6n-4

7. The nth term of the sequence 8, 11, 14 is n+3

5,

14. The nth term of a quadratic sequence contains n3.
