Year12 Arithmetic and Geometric Sequence TEST

The document provides examples of arithmetic and geometric sequence problems: 1) It gives examples of finding specific terms (like the 7th or 15th) in arithmetic sequences given the first few terms and common difference. 2) It asks to find the common difference given the first and last terms. 3) It provides an example of an arithmetic sequence modeling distance traveled each second rolling down a slope. 4) It asks to find sums of terms in arithmetic sequences. 5) It asks to find the number of terms needed to reach a total in an arithmetic sequence. 6) It gives examples of finding specific terms in geometric sequences and provides a formula for the nth term. 7
