tion.
1. What is the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, . . .?
2. Find the common difference in the sequence: 7, 11, 15, 19, . . .
3. What is the 20th term of the arithmetic sequence where a1 = 4 and d = 6?
4. Determine the 12th term of the sequence: 50, 45, 40, 35, . . .
5. If the first term is a1 = 3 and the common difference is d = 4, find a8 .
6. How many terms are there in the sequence 5, 10, 15, . . . , 100?
7. Find the sum of the first 15 terms of the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, . . .
8. What is the common difference of the sequence: 100, 90, 80, 70, . . .?
9. What is the first term of an arithmetic sequence if the 6th term is 22 and d = 3?
10. In the sequence −2, 1, 4, 7, . . ., what is the 15th term?
11. The 5th term of an arithmetic sequence is 20 and the 12th term is 48. What is the
common difference?
12. The first term of an arithmetic sequence is a1 = −3 and the 15th term is 39. Find the
common difference and the 8th term.
13. If an = 3n + 2 represents an arithmetic sequence, write its first 5 terms.
14. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is Sn = n2 (2a + (n − 1)d). Use
this formula to find the sum of the first 10 terms when a = 2 and d = 5.
15. The sum of the first 30 terms of an arithmetic sequence is 690, and the first term is
a = 3. Find the common difference d.
