Arithmetic Sequence Review Worksheet

This document contains practice problems for identifying and writing formulas for arithmetic sequences. It provides the first term (a1) and common difference (d) for sequences and asks students to list the first few terms, identify later terms, and write both recursive and explicit formulas. It also includes word problems about sequences where the goal is to determine an unknown term (n).

WORD PROBLEMS

For the following situations, describe how you would find n (any unknown term).
1. A kitchen starts with 4 fruit flies and triples in population every day. How many fruit flies would be in
the kitchen after n days?

2. A landscaper is building a brick wall. When he starts for the day, the wall is already 2 bricks high, and
he builds up the wall by 5 layers of bricks every hour. How high will the wall be after n hours of
working?
